At J40 Pedal Cars, we’ve dedicated decades to perfecting the art of Austin J40 restoration. Each project begins with meticulous inspection, hand-crafted repairs, and faithful finishing — ensuring every J40 we restore captures the look, feel, and spirit of its original build.
Whether for display, collection, or the famous Settrington Cup at Goodwood, our restorations represent the finest workmanship available today.
Our Austin J40 Restoration Process
Step 1: Assessment & Documentation
Each J40 begins with a detailed inspection, noting originality, missing components, and any previous modifications. We provide a full photographic record before work begins.
Step 2: Disassembly & Rust Treatment
Every part is carefully removed, labelled, and treated using Eaton Heritage’s specialist corrosion control methods — the same processes we apply to full-scale classic vehicles.
Step 3: Bodywork & Paint Restoration
We repair or replace panels where required, maintaining original lines and contours. Paint colours are matched to period-correct Austin codes for authenticity.
Step 4: Parts Restoration or Reproduction
We restore original components wherever possible. For rare or damaged parts, we supply authentic reproductions directly from j40pedalcars.com, ensuring your restoration remains true to the car’s heritage.
Step 5: Reassembly & Detailing
Every J40 is reassembled by hand, with final detailing, decals, and trim fitted to concours standards — ready for collection, display, or worldwide delivery.
