Welcome to Mr J40. These Terms and Conditions apply to all purchases made via our website, social media, email, or by direct arrangement with us. By placing an order, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below.

 

 

 

 

1. Company Details

2. Products and Descriptions

 

 

We offer two main types of products:

 

 

2.1 Reproduction Parts

 

 

All parts are either handmade or sourced to match original Austin J40 specifications wherever possible. As many items are hand-finished, minor variances in appearance or fit may occur and are not considered faults.

 

 

2.2 Pedal Cars (Complete or Project Cars)

 

 

Each J40 sold is described as accurately as possible. Cars may be:

 

  • Fully restored: complete, functional and ready for display or light use
  • Partially restored or project cars: sold as-is and may require repair or assembly

 

 

Condition will be clearly described prior to sale, with supporting photos. Buyers are encouraged to ask questions before committing.

 

 

 

 

3. Pricing and Payment

 

 

  • All prices are listed in GBP (£) and include VAT if applicable.
  • Payment must be made in full before items are shipped or released.
  • Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, credit/debit card (via secure gateway), and PayPal.
  • Custom orders or large restorations may require a non-refundable deposit.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Orders & Availability

 

 

All orders are subject to availability. In the rare event a product is unavailable after purchase, we will offer either:

 

  • A full refund
  • An estimated lead time
  • A suitable replacement (if applicable and agreed)

 

 

 

 

 

5. Shipping & Delivery

 

 

 

5.1 Parts

 

 

  • We ship parts both nationally and internationally.
  • Orders are carefully packaged and dispatched using tracked services.
  • Shipping charges will be displayed at checkout or quoted manually.
  • Delivery times vary by destination — please allow extra time for international shipments.

 

 

 

5.2 Pedal Cars

 

 

  • Full pedal cars are usually crated and shipped via freight.
  • Each car is secured in reinforced wooden crates or with protective packing and wrapping.
  • Shipping costs will be quoted separately based on location.
  • Any import duties, taxes or customs charges are the responsibility of the buyer.

  • All pedal cars are shipped fully insured. Once the vehicle has left our premises, we are not responsible for any loss or damage in transit. Any such claims must be made directly with the shipping provider using their claims process.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Returns & Refunds

 

 

 

6.1 Parts

 

 

  • Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery.
  • Items must be unused, unmodified and in original packaging.
  • Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
  • A refund (excluding original shipping) will be processed upon inspection.

 

 

Custom-made or made-to-order parts are non-refundable unless faulty.

 

 

6.2 Pedal Cars

 

 

  • Due to the value and nature of restored vehicles, all pedal car sales are final.
  • We provide thorough descriptions and detailed images prior to sale.
  • Viewings or video walkthroughs can be arranged on request.

 

 

 

 

 

7. Faulty or Damaged Items

 

 

In the unlikely event your order arrives damaged or faulty:

 

  • You must notify us within 48 hours of receiving the item.
  • Please include clear photos of the damage and packaging.
  • We will offer a replacement, repair, or refund as appropriate.

 

 

 

 

 

8. Lead Times for Made-to-Order Parts

 

 

Some parts (e.g. body panels, bonnets, or larger items) are made to order and may carry a lead time of 1–4 weeks, depending on complexity and our workshop queue. You will be informed of the expected lead time before payment is taken.

 

 

 

 

9. Certificates of Authenticity

 

 

Certificates issued by Mr J40 / Eaton Heritage are based on the information available at the time of assessment.

 

  • All serial numbers must be visible for a remote or in-person review.
  • Where no serial number is visible, we may offer to uncover it by arrangement.
  • Certificates are a guide and do not constitute official provenance or valuation.

 

 

 

 

 

10. Intellectual Property

 

 

All product descriptions, images, logos, and website content are the property of Mr J40 and may not be copied, reproduced, or used without written permission.

 

 

 

 

11. Privacy Policy

 

 

Please refer to our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle your data in accordance with GDPR and UK data protection laws.

 

 

 

 

12. Liability Disclaimer

 

 

  • Mr J40 is not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from the misuse of any parts or cars sold.
  • Our pedal cars are not toys in the modern safety sense — they are collector’s items and must be used responsibly and under supervision.

 

 

 

 

 

13. Governing Law

 

 

These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
