Sales soar as DAX open its doors


May 6, 2000


Business was the order of the day as DAX customers and owners homed in on the marque's Harlow, Essex factory on Good Friday, 21 April, for a repeat of last year's successful Easter Open Day.

For many, it was the first chance to see the new red DAX Rush De Dion LX which has been featured in a series of build articles on the DAX web-site at http://www.daxcars.com - as well as the next generation yellow 2 litre Pinto injection-powered car which is being built up to replace it, for the red car has already been sold.

And, as always, there was something completely new - a spectacular, lightweight, round-tube Rush chassis designed to make the most of the latest trend in clubman-style sports cars..a motorcycle engine.

It was also the day chosen by the re-launched DAX Rush Owners' Club (the DROC) to launch its new web-site - "Adrenaline Rush" - which can be found at http://www.rushowners.co.uk.

DROC Webmaster Duncan Hurst said: "Although initially skimpy, the website is being expanded to include club information, event news, technical help, buy and sell sections, links and pictures. There is already a thriving DAX Rush e-mail list available to all, club member or not, which can be subscribed to via a webpage at http://www.se7ens.net/cgi-bin/majordomo."

The launch of the web-site was welcomed by DJ Sportscars International 's Managing Director Brian Johns. "We are delighted to see the club embracing internet technology as it gears itself up for the 21st century and see this as a significant new way for us to improve communications with our customers.

"And we have even more customers following the success of this open day," said Brian. "We sold no less than seven cars on the day itself, with follow ups leading to several more, and the parts and accessories counter has never been busier. You could say we were 'Rushed' off our feet, although there was also a great deal of interest in the Tojeiro and Kamala."

Designer Peter Walker added: "It was particular nice to see two customer Kamalas on the day - an immaculate yellow example which has completed several thousand miles and is ready for a trip to Italy this summer, and a newly-completed car which has just passed its SVA test and is being prepared for painting."

The two Cosworth-powered Kamala supercars took their place among a host of customer Rushes and Tojeiros - all classics in their own right - which braved the April rain to attend. Their owners were rewarded with a rare sunny day for their efforts.
