When he began his exile on Earth, a recently [[regenerated]] [[Third Doctor]] stole an antique roadster which was parked in front of [[Ashbridge Cottage Hospital]] to get around. He liked it, believing "it had character," as he would later say and while seeing the car returned to its rightful owner, Doctor [[Beavis]], the Brigadier said he thought he could get something like it. The original car was red, unlike Bessie, which was yellow. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'') As per his request, the Doctor was donated an old vehicle that he could spruce up into his working transport. It required some tuning up beneath its chassis and adjustments to get the engine working. The Doctor made these repairs in a UNIT [[garage]] where he did not wish to be disturbed. | When he began his exile on Earth, a recently [[regenerated]] [[Third Doctor]] stole an antique roadster which was parked in front of [[Ashbridge Cottage Hospital]] to get around.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Change of Mind (comic story)|Change of Mind]]'') Liz was driving Bessie when she was captured by two of [[Reegan]]'s heavies.
