The Siva Motor Car Company was a British manufacturer of automobiles active from 1970 to 1976. The designer Neville Trickett and Nick Jenke set up a company called Neville Tricket (Design) Ltd in April 1967 based in Blandford Forum, Dorset. At the suggestion of Michael Saunders, who ran a company called Siva Engineering in Bournemouth, the pair set out to design a series of Edwardian-looking cars.
The first car built in 1969, pre-dated the the founding of the Siva company, at the official 1970 launch two models were available the two seat Roadster and four seat Tourer based on Ford chassis with heavy gauge fibre glass body and power via a Ford side valve engine. gearbox and ancillary equipment. The original Ford wheels have been replaced on this vehicle by steel artillery wheels
Cars were available fully built or in kit form at £525 for a fully built Tourer, £475 for the Roadster and £ 150 and £ 125 for a kit.
The last cars were made in 1974 after around 80 Tourers and 25 Roadsters had been made
DR. WHO
A Tourer named Bessie first appeared in Doctor Who and the Silurians (1970). She provided a transport solution throughout the era of the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee), but was also used by the Fourth (Tom Baker), and by the Seventh (Sylvester McCoy).
