Long wheelbase Rush launched at Exeter
22nd November, 1999
DJ Sportscars International surprised visitors to the Exeter
Show on 20 and 21 November by launching yet another variant of its Rush
clubman-style sportscar. The long wheelbase chassis will make all versions of
the popular Rush accessible to even more potential customers.
This new
chassis for the 'fastest accelerating kit car in the world' will be available
as an option in IRS, De Dion or classic live-axle form in the new year. The
prototype chassis shown at Exeter is yet another major Rush innovation from DJ,
which launched the single-donor De Dion model earlier this year and has since
seen it become the best-seller in its range.
Brian Johns, Managing
Director of DJ said: "The De Dion has been selling like hot cakes since its
introduction. We have clearly identified a gap in the market for a quality car
at an affordable price which is capable of handling plenty of power - the
majority of orders are for Rover or Cosworth-engined versions.
"The
Pinto-engined budget LX version has also being selling well and we are building
up an example as an additional demonstrator. The story of this build is being
told on our web-site at http://www.daxcars.co.uk/"
Brian said that the
existing wide-bodied Rush is already one of the best cars in its class for
taller or larger drivers. "Even so, there are some exceptionally tall
individuals who have found this type of car impossible in the past. The extra
three inches which we have introduced to the lwb chassis may not sound much,
but it makes an enormous difference. Add in the benefit of our newly-developed
sunken floor-pan and those of well above average height will find levels of
comfort which were previously unavailable in a minimalist two-seater." DAX has
even made a special version for one customer of 6ft. 9ins.
As with all
DAX models, the long wheelbase Rush is designed to meet all SVA requirements.
Last year, a DJ Sportscars DAX Rush became the first amateur-built car to
receive a Minister's Approval Certificate from the Vehicle Inspectorate's main
London Testing Centre, passing at its first attempt.
