The car will be sympathetically upgraded. That’s to say, enhanced but faithful to the original, retaining the unmistakable look but with a rejuvenated driving experience. Of course, J40 also restore and sell existing chassis, for which a range of parts and accessories will be presented. Likewise, a number of historically significant cars will be in attendance, including a car made in North Wales on the last day of original J40 production.
It won’t just be the Settrington racers driving the J40s at Revival either. A test track will be available for young drivers to get their first go in a J40 at the event. This little vintage pedal car has been giving children their first taste of motoring for over seven decades. With the work J40 Motor Company are doing, that should be the case for many decades to come.
