DALEK PART-EXCHANGED FOR E-TYPE

One of Dr Who's most feared enemies has
ended up for sale on a garage forecourt
in Dorset.

A Dalek has been part-exchanged for an
E-type Jaguar at Panorama Bay Motor
Company, based in Poole.

The deal was made with garage boss Gary
Davies, 49. He is selling the ex-BBC
prop, which was moved on castors by an
actor sitting inside, for #4,000.

And there was I thinking they were powered by Hamsters...

Who said the actor didn't dress up in a hamster costume whilst inside it? *8)

Well, famous Dalek operator John Scott Martin has a hairdo which
looks like it is made of hamsters...

Somewhere - from an ancient TV Zone - I've got a picture of a circa 1966 John Scott Martin
wheeling himself round in a Dalek Case with the top off. They are actor powered - I've
sat in one of the props years ago.
