SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION
The chassis number is visible on the boot floor. It has a dummy engine with spark plugs, a handbrake and an electric horn. Perfect as a display piece or haring up the start finish straight of the Sussex Downs race circuit.
Fondly known as the 'Joy Car' or 'Junior Austin', the J40 was manufactured from 1955 to 1971 by disabled miners at a factory in the village of Tiryberth, near Bargoed in South Wales. Built at the instigation of Lord Nuffield, owner of BMC, soon after WWII, they were sold in Austin showrooms for £20, which was a considerable price at the time.
