Estimate: £1,500 -£2,000
Austin pedal cars were made by the same Austin Motor Company that
made full-sized cars in Longbridge, although the miniature versions were
made in a specially constructed factory at Bargoed in South Wales.
The pedal car factory opened in July 1949 and was called the Austin Junior Car Factory. It was actually paid for by Government funds and was run on a not-for-profit basis and purely for the employment of disabled coal miners, around 250 of whom worked there at any one time. The cars were made from scrap off-cuttings of metal from the Longbridge car factory and were built and painted in more or less the same way as the motorcars.
Clearly much loved over the years, this appealing J40 dates from 1961 according to the chassis number and has been given a ‘Noddy’ paint job which has built up a charming patina over the years. Looking remarkably complete, it would make an ideal entry in this year’s Settrington Cup J40 race at the Goodwood Revival after a bit of pre-race fettling
