*** PROVISIONALLY SOLD TO RAY & JAN ***
HERE WE HAVE FOR SALE A 1950'S AUSTIN J40 PEDAL CAR IN RED ''GARAGE FIND'' RESTORATION PROJECT
THIS AUSTIN J40 PEDAL CAR HAS HAD 1 OWNER FROM NEW AND HAS JUST BEEN DISCOVERED AFTER BEING HIDDEN AWAY FOR CIRCA 60 YEARS IN A GARAGE AND UNEARTHED ONLY THIS WEEK AND TOTALLY UNTOUCHED AND OFFERED FOR SALE TO THE OPEN MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE IT'S PURCHASE NEW IN THE 1950'S AND OFFERED EXACTLY AS FOUND WITH 60+ YEARS OF STORAGE DUST & DIRT!!
AS CAN BE SEEN THIS IS A VERY GENUINE TOTALLY UNMOLESTED AND NEVER RESTORED AUSTIN J40 PEDAL CAR AND IS MOSTLY COMPLETE AND WILL MAKE A FANTASTIC & REWARDING RESTORATION PROJECT AND WOULD LOOK A LOT BETTER WITH A GOOD WASH AND CLEAN!!
WE ARE INFORMED THAT THIS IS A VERY SOUGHT AFTER EARLIER EXAMPLE OF A J40 PEDAL CAR AND BELIEVE IT WAS PRODUCED IN THE 1950'S AND STILL RETAINS EARLY FEATURES SUCH AS IT'S FLYING 'A' BONNETT BADGE, EARLY HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THE LIGHT BLUE SEAT BACK AND BASE (LATER CARS SEAT BACK & BASE WERE YELLOW)
THIS J40 PEDAL CAR RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL SEAT, STEERING WHEEL, DASH, EARLY HEADLIGHT SWITCH, DUNLOP CORD TYRES & WHEELS, FRONT & REAR BUMPERS INC NUMBER PLATES, GRILLE, BADGES, FLYING 'A' BADGE, BOOT HANDLE, COMPLETE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, HEADLIGHTS ETC
THE ONLY ITEMS MISSING ARE THE HUBCAPS, ROCKER COVER & BATTERY CLAMP WHICH IF FOUND I WILL FORWARD THESE TO THE NEW OWNER (I AM SURE ORIGINAL ITEMS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON EBAY OR NEW REPLACEMENT ITEMS ARE EASILY SOURCED WHICH WILL BE REQUIRED IF YOU ARE GOING TO CARRY OUT A FULL RESTORATION!!)
EVEN THE ORIGINAL SEAT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION ALTHOUGH IT REQUIRES A GOOD CLEAN AND THE ORIGINAL AUSTIN SCRIPT TO THE J40 CAN STILL BE SEEN (ALTHOUGH FADED)
WE ARE TOLD THAT THIS J40 PEDAL CAR WAS HARDLY USED WHEN PURCHASED NEW IN THE EARLY 1950'S AND THIS IS CONFIRMED BY THE LACK OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AND WAS STORED AWAY SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AS THE YOUNG CHILD LOST INTEREST AND HAS BEEN HIDDEN FOR OVER 60 YEARS UNTIL IT'S DISCOVERY EARLIER THIS WEEK
THE CHASSIS NUMBER IN THE BOOT IS PRESENT AND APPEARS TO BE EITHER 3 OR 4 DIGITS (I HAVE NOT CLEANED IT SO CANNOT CONFIRM THE CHASSIS NUMBER AT THE MOMENT BUT IS CLEARY STAMPED)
ALTHOUGH SURFACE RUST IS PRESENT AND IS FULL OF DUST DIRT AND COBWEBS DUE TO MANY MANY YEARS IN STORAGE THE UNDERSIDE IS IN GOOD CONDITION AS CAN BE SEEN AND OVERALL THIS J40 PEDAL CAR APPEARS SOLID BUT WILL REQUIRE A REPAIR/ REPLACEMENT TO THE LOWER REAR VALENCE AND N/ S WHEEL ARCH (HOLED) AND IT MUST BE NOTED THAT THIS IS A FULL & TOTAL RESTORATION PROJECT BUT IS A VERY WORTHWHILE AND REWARDING PROJECT
A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A VIRTUALLY COMPLETE AND ''TIMEWARP'' EARLIER EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THESE ICONIC AUSTIN J40 PEDAL CARS WHICH HAS BEEN PRICED FAIRLY AND REALISTICALLY AND ONCE FULLY RESTORED WILL BE WORTH £5000 - £6000
WE ARE LOCATED IN WIGAN LANCASHIRE (APPROX 4 MILES FROM J27 M6 MOTORWAY)
PAYMENT BY CASH OR BANK TRANSFER
THE BUYER MUST COLLECT OR ARRANGE COLLECTION (CLEARED PAYMENT MUST BE RECIEVED BEFORE THE PEDAL CAR IS RELEASED!!)
