This is an expansion for the Novatech Type 70 TARDIS. You must have a Type 70 to use it.

Unveiled by the then Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea, Paul Warwick, outside Earl's Court Underground Station on Thursday 18 April, 1996, the new modern police box was intended as a joint safety project, and was built by the London Underground's Lillie Bridge Works from designs supplied by the Metropolitan Police. Installed to enable the public to contact local police at the touch of a button, it also has a CCTV camera (which can be seen poking out from under the electric blue light on top), digital imaging equipment, a public telephone linked directly to a police switchboard and another camera that photographs all users to deter hoax callers. There were plans to distribute similar boxes throughout London as hi-tech surveillance units, but this idea was later abandoned.

Built and textured by Kat Kassner and Cheshyr Pontchartrain, this is a reproduction of a real-life police box still present in London. Two skins are included, the original 1996 appearance, and the more recent, retired look (no phone, a new paint job, and a few other minor changes.)

Installation is a breeze with the automated installer orb. Just rez the orb next to your Type 70, click on it, and in a few moments you're ready to go.

WHAT IS THE TYPE 70?

The Type 70 TTC (Time Travel Capsule) is a combination flying vehicle, transporter and portable skybox. You can fly it like a normal vehicle by sitting inside and saying "start", or click on its sides and use the menu to pilot. Once you reach your destination, another press of a button rezzes a console room, building platform, or both!

You can also change its shape, size, color and texture from a simple menu system, or use more advanced verbal commands for fine-tuning your unique look.

While I cannot claim time travel, it will take you and your friends anywhere within the sim in grand style. All accompanied by authentic looks and sound effects.

The TTC automatically detects compatible transporter systems and landing pads whenever you enter a new region. If you like, you can also use a notecard to store favorite locations in sims you may not be allowed to leave permanent landing pads. In addition to this, there is a WARP menu that lets you quickly move up, down, north, south, east or west in small increments. You can also travel randomly, just like The Doctor when he installed the randomization circuit to foil the Black Guardian in the excellent "Key to Time" season.

Other features include automated landing, defense circuitry, auto-return, custom destinations, homing beacon, landing platform, console room, two modes of travel and an option to let guests or fellow group-mates fly her.

And if you own emDash, you can use your TTC as a portal and poofer, traveling anywhere on the grid!

Saw the original one, it's not a bad approximation, simpler, owing to things in SL we don't have in FL, such as prims, but you won't notice unless you're looking hard.
