If you love the Austin J40, you will love our latest book covering the full story of this wonderful classic pedal car.
Heritage is important to us at Austin Pedal Cars. To build a J40 Continuation car, manufacture parts and accessories for the classic J40, and to restore Austin pedal cars to the highest quality, it is essential to thoroughly understand every element of the J40s history.
A few years ago, we commissioned Austin J40 expert David Whyley to help us collate the definitive story of the Austin J40, starting with the 1940s prototypes right up to the latest developments at Austin Pedal Cars today. David, with the help of Austin Pedal Cars Director Jamie Burnett, spent years painstakingly uncovering new information, seeking out unseen images and travelling the UK to speak with those involved in the launch of the Austin pedal car range.
As with all great stories, the tale takes a number of twists and turns and gives an insight into an important part of British car building history for those who want all the facts and stats. However, it is also a fun read for anyone who loves the Austin J40, wants to know more about how they were used in period, and enjoys revelling in wonderful photos of these charming cars.
This lavishly produced book runs to 488 pages and displays over 1000 images, along with many previously unpublished archive photographs and documents. Receiving glowing praise from the likes of Octane and Classic and Sports Car magazines – who both awarded it "Book of the Month", it provides the definitive story of Austin’s wonderful classic pedal cars.
Austin Pedal Cars prides itself on being the authority on all things Austin pedal cars. Our passion, knowledge and experience gives you complete peace of mind when it comes to anything J40 - be it the purchase of a new or classic car, commissioning a vintage pedal car restoration or simply enjoying our J40-related merchandise and accessories.
