Now Brighton Toy and Model Museum will be displaying the record breaking P50 at the museum for the summer season.
Alex said:
"People loved seeing the Peel out and about because it’s unusual, people literally drove halfway across the country so their children could see it close up!"
Alex’s story was covered by the media worldwide – on television, in the newspapers and on the radio, helping him exceed his £2,000 fundraising target for Children In Need, raising £11,002 in total.
The Peel P50 was listed in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the smallest production car ever made – it measures 1.3m in length, 97cm in height, and 94cm in width with a 12.7cm ground clearance and has an average speed of 23mph.
Jan Etches, Museum Manager said:
"We often describe the museum collection as real life made miniature. We are very excited to have Alex’s P50 on display in the museum from Easter through to the end of the summer school holidays. This will be a fabulous attraction giving people the only opportunity to see a Peel P50 on display in the southeast of England!"
