A superb book on the history of the Austin Pedal cars.

The 80 pages outline the full story, beginning in 1946 with the first prototype based on the Austin 8, through to the development of the Pathfinder Special and J40. 

The author has interviewed the original design team, and workers and managers from the Bargoed factory. The book, with its full colour cover is crammed full of black and white photographs, which have never been published before. There is a section on  restoration of the pedal cars and details of production figures, paint colours and trim.
