Export Successes

1 October, 2000

DJ Sportscars International achieved an export milestone with the hand-over of the 50th DAX car sold by its Benelux agent.

John Kox of Hoogeinde 75, B-2321 Hoogstraten, Belgium, has sold 50 cars - mostly Rush and Tojeiro models - to customers in Belgium, The Netherlands and France in only five years as a DAX agent.

When he collected the 50th chassis - a DAX Rush - from DJ Sportscars Harlow, Essex, factory the company surprised him with a small hand-over celebration.

DJ has achieved yet another export breakthrough with the establishment of an agency to sell its classic DAX Tojeiro model in central Europe.

Ivicek d.o.o. of Zagreb, Croatia, placed an intial order for two DAX Tojeiro kits and has since ordered three more. The company plans to sell five to ten Tojeiro's a year. Ivicek can be contacted at:

Next-gen Rush launched

The next generation of the best-selling DAX Rush De Dion LX model has been launched - using the fuel-injected, four-wheel disc-braked version of the Ford Sierra as a single donor. The new yellow demonstrator made its show debut at Donington in Leicestershire in September.

It was developed in response to pressure from customers wishing to use the improved, fuel-injected version of the Ford Pinto engine. Not only is it more powerful as standard, but it has the benefits of a more modern engine management system and a stronger bottom end which allows a higher rev limit. Following on from this development, we are now able to offer a wider range of exhaust systems to cover not only the injected Pinto, but also the double-overhead-camshaft Pinto and the Ford Zetec unit.

As part of our programme of continuously improving our products in response to customer feedback, these are all-in-one welded systems which avoid the sealing problems which can affect multi-part exhaust systems. Similar all-in-one exhaust systems are also available for the Rover V8-powered Rush.

Summer sales boost

DJ topped off a summer sales boom by selling nine cars in three days at the end of August. This included a further three cars for the newly established agency selling our classic DAX Tojeiro model in central Europe.

These three days were the icing on the cake of a highly successful few months. We have been selling an average of three cars a week.two DAX Rushes and one DAX Tojeiro. There is no doubt that the export market has played a significant role, with Benelux agent John Kox receiving his 50th car and setting up his own website. He has recently held a second open day and more orders are coming in as a result.
His new web-site can be found at http://www.daxbenelux.com and his e-mail address is info@daxbenelux.com

Home market sales are still the backbone of the business, however. Most of the cars we build are still going to the UK. The downside of our success is that customers are having to wait a little longer for their kits. We are selling them as fast as we can build them and customers who would rather not wait are snatching our demonstrators out of the showroom. The latest to go this way is the newly-completed DAX Rush Efi.
