Two brothers are celebrating after setting a world speed record in an electric car – made from a Beetle and a milk float.

Sam and Olly Young, who are sponsored by their local pub in Hungerford, Berkshire, set out to prove you can have zero emissions and the thrill of super-fast travel too.

They built a ‘green’ mean machine out of a milk float and a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle, which they have named Black Current.
