Second highest price ever paid for Manx made car

A Peel P50 - the smallest car in the world - has sold for £111,000 at auction.

The car was made in the Isle of Man in 1963 - it's the second highest price ever paid for the model which is believed to be the earliest produced.

It was bought at an online auction and is one of just 46 that were built as pre-production versions. 

The world record amount paid for one of the Manx made cars is £135,000 in 2016.
