A least the fan belt won't play up on that one Dave :thumbsup: ....(On going issue with my Colt) :lol:

Back in the Sixties the local Austin Dealer had a couple of similar Austin pedal cars as display items in the window. A source of much fascination to us kids :)

Ahhh pedal version of the A40 Devon. I had a '53 A40 Somerset - always needed the streering ball joints adjusted & greased & the head gasket changing every 3000 miles - could do it in 90 mins......Those were the days...............

Hi Brian,

I have not seen one of these for years, goodness knows how much one of these in that new condition would fetch now at an Auction, :dunno:

Thanks for the link.

Roger.
