Jon and the Whomobile (1974)

You should know I like a picture or two of Jon Pertwee by now; He's so iconically the 70s

 

Here he is showing off his new custom built futuristic car which would go on to feature in a couple Doctor Who stories

I "met" this car some years later at the Stoneleigh Town and Country Show and have to say it was just as wonderful in reality.  Looking back I can't help feeling the vehicle should have generated a diecast toy or plastic model kit at the very least.  I would have been so up for one of those.  Still would if anyone wanted to play catch-up

 

These are some of the nicest pictures I've ever seen of Whomobile and they are certainly clearer than any images captured from the TV episodes.

And there you have it, not the first flying car I fell in love with as a kid but certainly the best looking
....and no, the other one wasn't Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
