World's smallest car in fundraising road trip

A man from Sussex is driving the entire length of the UK in a Peel P50 car to raise money for BBC Children in Need.

Alex Orchin will set off from John o' Groats on Saturday for a two-week road trip to Lands' End. 

The P50 microcars were first manufactured in a factory on the west coast of the Isle of Man by local firm, Peel Engineering.

Mr Orchin told the Mid Sussex Times that the car has a top speed of around 35mph because it's so tiny.
