The Bugatti Veyron changed the supercar world forever — and now one of just five World Record Editions is up for sale, finished in the same spec as the 267mph record car and with a £3.5m asking price to match.

Plus: the best £15k hot hatch, and whether buying an old press car is really such a bad idea.
