Austin J40 Pedal Car For Sale by Auction

Fondly known as the 'Joy Car' or 'Junior Austin', the 'J40' was manufactured from 1955 to '71 by disabled miners at a factory in the village of Tiryberth, near Bargoed in South Wales. Built at the instigation of Lord Nuffield, owner of BMC, soon after the Second World War, they were sold in Austin showrooms for £20, which was a considerable price at the time. It had a dummy engine with spark plugs, a handbrake and electric lights and a horn.
This example has been with its owner for 20 years and is essentially original. The steering wheel is slightly damaged, the horn button is missing and it needs a battery. A simple Winter project
