Luxury Pedal Car: The Holland & Sherry Austin J40 Continuation
When it comes to luxury and glamour, France is often the first country that comes to mind with its numerous couture workshops and renowned fashion houses. However, across the channel in the UK, there are also some very important companies making waves in the world of high fashion. One such company is Holland & Sherry, a name that is synonymous with quality and elegance.
Established in 1836 by Stephen George Holland and Frederick Sherry as wool merchants in London, Holland & Sherry has been supplying tailors, haute couture designers, and international luxury brands with some of the finest fabrics in the world. In 1982, the company made the move to Savile Row, a famous street in London known for its prestigious tailors and luxury brands.
Savile Row is not only home to some of the best tailors in the world, but it also hosts the Concours on Savile Row, a free and open event where car enthusiasts can admire over 40 world-class cars, from vintage vehicles to the latest electric hypercars. One of the standout attractions at the event is the exclusive Austin J40 Continuation pedal car, which has been specially crafted using Holland & Sherry fabrics.
The Austin J40 Continuation may look like a classic pedal car at first glance, but it is actually a brand new model that offers a modern take on the traditional design. With a hand-cast aluminium body, lightweight pedal system, and bespoke interior upholstered in Holland & Sherry fabrics, this pedal car is as luxurious as it is fun to drive.
In addition to its exquisite design, the Austin J40 Continuation also comes with unique accessories, including a fine leather bag and tool holder. While it is intended for children to enjoy, there is no doubt that this exclusive pedal car could also be purchased as a collector’s item for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and luxury.
With its technical specifications including sculpted aluminium body, exclusive Holland & Sherry seat and handbrake cover, and functional headlights and horn, the Austin J40 Continuation is a true work of art that combines classic design with modern luxury. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, a fashion lover, or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, the Austin J40 Continuation is sure to impress.
