Description
Austin Pathfinder pedal car manufactured 1949.
Re-built to concours standard. All parts original and NOS or refurbished. No body welding or dent repairs needed. Bright work NOS. Replaced period pattern tires. Re-upholstered to original specification. Clear early serial no. 78 stamped into seat pan. The refurbishment was completed by a specialist restorer. No expense spared. Car set up perfectly. This car is not a DIY re-build. I searched for some time for an original and complete unmolested car. The only items added are the racing roundel and number on the rear body together with the Austin transfers to each side. These items although present prior to restoration could not be saved or salvaged. Personal pick-up. Cash on collection. There are always one or two pathfinders for sale but buyer beware they can hide a lot of problem issues from repro parts and hidden rot. Also if these pathfinders are taken apart without the historical knowledge of how these cars were put together and set-up a child will not have the strength to pedal and steer the car. This is the last of my pathfinder collection and by far the best driving one. Very nice early car. This car was purchased complete and original. Although no rot or dents the car had been hand painted and the seat covering was a DIY mess. Tyres were shredded. However, the car had never been taken apart and all fittings where original. The car was professionally stripped, re-painted, trimmed and all components where re-furbished or nos found. The restoration took over a year and was costed far in excess of my asking price. The end result was a superb pathfinder that was child friendly and usable. Kept in the house. Buying DIY re-builds is best avoided
