The marks of time tell a story on every original J40 - the most popular pedal car ever made. Did you know that exactly 32,098 Austin J40 pedal cars were produced in the factory at Bargoed? Many of these found homes all over the world; King Charles even received one as a present on his fourth birthday in 1952.

To this day we are still accurately reproducing pedal car parts of the highest quality, including the J40 clocks panel which has been manufactured in-house with the highest attention to detail, and is screen printed onto stainless steel. https://www.austinpedalcars.com/clocks-panel?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=clockspanel

Pedalling back in time to when Dom and Jon took on the mega project of expertly restoring an original 60-year-old J40 pedal car the right way. The car had definitely seen better days!!
