Bessie was the Doctor's main mode of transport during his exile on Earth. Liz Shaw once accused the Doctor of naming the car after her. (DWM: Change of Mind)

Bessie was a canary-yellow roadster, acquired by the Brigadier for the Doctor's use as part of the exiled Time Lord's agreement to assist UNIT in its efforts to protect Earth. (The Doctor had requested a car of this nature after using a similar vehicle in his first fight against the Autons and liking its style and character (DW: Spearhead from Space).
The Doctor made several modifications to Bessie during his time at UNIT. These included an anti-theft force field (DW: The Ambassadors of Death), which magnetically trapped anyone attempting to steal Bessie; a remote control (DW: The Dæmons), with which the Doctor could steer the car from a distance; and a minimum inertia hyperdrive which allowed him to drive at breakneck speed and still come to a sudden stop without him or his passengers being sent through the windscreen by inertia, which the brakes absorbed. (DW: The Time Monster)
When he had begun his exile on Earth, the Doctor (who had just regenerated and not fully recovered) stole an antique roadster parked in front of Ashbridge Cottage Hospital so that he could get around. He liked it, and, while seeing to it that the car returned to its rightful owner, the Brigadier said he thought he could get something like it. (DW: Spearhead from Space)
Bessie proved instrumental in capturing the Master. When he attempted to steal the Doctor's car and make good his escape following the events at Devil's End, the Doctor used his remote control to steer the Master back to the waiting UNIT soldiers, who took him into custody. (DW: The Dæmons) Bessie was briefly pulled into Omega's universe during his attempt to capture the Doctor. (DW: The Three Doctors)
Shortly after his companion Jo Grant left him the third incarnation of the Doctor had temporarily left Earth, his fifth incarnation arrived on Earth and borrowed Bessie while helping UNIT defeat the Xaranthi (PDA: Deep Blue)
The car was also abducted along with the Doctor into the Death Zone, where it was heavily damaged by one of the thunderbolts that periodically rained down upon the place. (DW: The Five Doctors)
With a newly-regenerated Doctor's relative lack of interest in affairs in UNIT and Earth, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart had it "put into mothballs". (Shortly after his regeneration, however the Doctor did drive around in it. DW: Robot)
It was brought out briefly in the 1990s as the Brigadier and UNIT worked together with the Doctor's seventh incarnation to battle Morgaine. (DW: Battlefield).
Initially, Bessie carried the registration licence plate "WHO 1". Whether this is intentional - possibly chosen by the Doctor as a reference to the question often asked of his name - or a coincidence is not known. Similarly by coincidence, at the time of the Doctor's later encounter with Morgaine, the plate had been changed to WHO 7. (DW: Battlefield) When the eighth incarnation of the Doctor utilised Bessie during the 1997 invasion of Britain a UNIT soldier saw and reported the number place as being "Whiskey, Hotel, Oscar 8"; "WHO 8". (NA: The Dying Days)

At some point in the 1670s, the vampire known as Dracula found himself starved and flying desperately around the rural farmlands of Switzerland. All of the local homeowners had boarded up their homes for the evening, and the vampire had no means of satisfying his vampiric thirst. He came upon the fields of a farmer named Hans and attacked his prized cow, Bessie. Dracula drank his fill of the animal's blood and left it for dead. The following morning, Hans discovered Bessie's blood-drained corpse and buried the remains. He even fashioned a personalized tombstone marking the spot where Bessie had died. Three nights later however, Bessie rose from the earth as one of the undead. She began prowling the countryside searching for the strange being responsible for her condition – a search that would continue for the next three-hundred years.
Not long ago, the Hellcow's journey brought her to the United States where she began stalking the communities surrounding Cleveland, Ohio. In need of human blood, the Hellcow attacked and killed a local farmer named Jubal Brown. The incident made the papers, earning the attention of an ambitious adventurer known as the Howard the Duck.
Howard the Duck wanted to establish a reputation in Cleveland. As such, he sought to earn a position on the Cleveland police force by catching this mysterious farm stalker. Masquerading as a human, he began wandering the city streets at 2:00 am. Hellcow swooped down out of the sky and attacked him, but Howard kept her at bay with a push broom. Spinning back around, the heifer rammed Howard in the buttocks, sending him crashing through the window of Ray's Auto Shop. She leapt into the building to finish him off, but Howard managed to find a lug wrench in the shape of a crucifix. The cross-shaped tool bought Howard enough time in order to find a suitable hammer and stake. Howard dropped the lug wrench in favor of his new weapons and the Hellcow lunged at him. He quickly ducked out of the way, and Bessie's body slammed into a pile of steel-belted radial retreads, her fangs embedding themselves into a whitewall. Taking advantage of the situation, Howard used the mallet and wooden stake to end the blood-sucking bovine's hellish existence once and for all. Despite his heroism however, Howard was still denied a position on the Cleveland police force.
Hellcow possessed many abilities common to other vampires, but may not have had access to a vampire's full array of supernatural powers.
Although never demonstrated, it is reasonable to assume that the various vulnerabilities that affect traditional vampires affected the Hellcow as well. As such, the Hellcow was vulnerable to the rays of the sun and required a darkened room or coffin in which to sleep. Where the Hellcow managed to conceal herself for three-hundred years has yet to be revealed.
The presence of religious symbols, or even reasonable fascimiles are sufficient to drive the Hellcow away. She is unable to attack a potential victim who is in possession of a cross of other similar icons of worship.
Whether the consumption of garlic has the same affect on Hellcow as it does other vampires has never been revealed.
Although Hellcow's body was impervious to most physical damage, a sharpened object impaled into her heart was sufficient enough to destroy her.
It is unlikely that Hellcow possessed the ability to transform her victims into vampires. To date, there has been no record of any human-cow hybrid vampires in the three-hundred years that Hellcow has walked the Earth.
Hellcow wore a black and red cape draped across her back which could metamorphosize into a pair of leathery bat wings attached to her back. Whether the cape was an extension of Hellcow's physical body or an independent piece of clothing is unknown. Where she acquired the cape and learned of its properties is likewise unknown.
