The sun is shining, it’s time to dust off your J40 for the summer.
British Summer Time has arrived and, almost immediately, the sun is shining! As a result, we are all aching to be outside with family and friends and children don’t want to go to bed while it’s still light outside.
And that means pedalling season is finally here once again, as Austin J40 pedal cars around the world are being brought out after being stored away for winter, ready for the good times ahead. But, if you are anything like the rest of us, it is now that you’ll remember the little things that need attention…the jobs you were going to do over winter, but never quite got around to. The buckled wheel, the horn that doesn’t honk, and the brightwork that is now more rust than chrome. We have all been there, but help is at hand.
We can have your Austin pedal car driving great and looking sharp in no time as our range of Austin parts and accessories are largely available immediately, allowing you to swiftly repair anything that needs attention before the weekend arrives. All you need to do is take a look here, click on what you need, and let us do the rest.

If you are lucky enough to have secured a spot in the 2025 Settrington Cup at Goodwood Revival, we can even prepare your car for racing too, as all of our parts meet the scrutineering requirements of the event. Again, just tell us what you need, and it will be sent to you, expertly packaged and with all the instructions you need.
Even if your J40 is running like clockwork, you may like to look at our range of Austin merchandise, with everything from cool T-shirts to the authoritative book on the history of Austin pedal cars we are sure to have something to take your fancy.
And if all this talk of summer pedalling has got you in the mood to buy your first Austin Pedal car, we can help with that too…take a look at our cars for sale here.
