Disabled Doctor Who superfan cruises around in style - in custom wheelchair modelled after Dalek creator Davros

A disabled Doctor Who superfan is cruising around in style - after making a custom wheelchair modelled after Daleks creator Davros.

Andy Ingram, 52, built the one-of-a-kind chair after meeting Terry Molloy, who portrayed super villain Davros, at the MCM Comic Con.

He downloaded plans from the internet and got to work using MDF and plywood.

Andy, from Benfleet, Essex, said: “I met Terry Molloy, the actor who played Davros at a Comic Con, and thought about building a Davros chariot.

"My wife worked on bumper cars when she was younger and helped me put the two together."

Andy's design is made from MDF on the base and top. The sides are 1/8" ply wood.

He said: "I downloaded a copy of the Davros plans from www.projectdalek.com - with my wife doing any heavy lifting.

“The videos show me test driving it along the path by our home.

"Everyone loves it and a lot of people want one. I love it too and I like that it makes people smile.”
