The J40 Continuation
The first new Austin pedal car in over 50 years
Austin Pedal Cars presents our brand new J40 Continuation - an exquisite interpretation of the much-loved classic J40 pedal car, brought back to life by combining modern technology with traditional principles.
Designed over many years, to automotive tolerances, the new Austin pedal car offers traditional style with the latest in technology to create the world’s finest pedal car.
The story continues with
The Legacy Edition
The Legacy Edition is the first Austin Continuation model, a beautifully specified, limited edition car with a number of exclusive elements including its gleaming Ensign Red paintwork, an exact match to the original colour offered in the 1940s.
A brand new lightweight pedal and steering system improves driveability and durability. CNC machined billet aluminium parts, super-smooth bearings and precision made components highlight Austin’s comprehensive approach to design and engineering.
Traditional Interior
Traditional looks and styling
The interior is traditionally styled using the finest leather, stitched and shaped by hand. The wooden rim steering wheel is complemented perfectly by the similarly prepared hand brake lever and a fully functioning electronic dash display sits centre stage before the driver.
