The History of DJC Sportscars
1989
The original company DJC Precision Engineering LTD was originally founded in 1989 by Richard Carpenter. Initially, the company had one CNC Lathe and one Milling Machine. The company continued to expand which resulted in the acquisition of a further three CNC Tuning Centres, two Vertical Machining Centres, and other essential metal working equipment.
1995
In 1995 Daniel Carpenter entered the company from school and spent time in all aspects of the company obtaining vital experience and becoming workshop Manager in 2004.
Between 1995 and 2008 the company invested in two more CNC Turning Centres and a further three Vertical Machining Centre with fourth-axis capability.
2002
In 2002 Daniel Carpenter was made Managing Director and Jane Carpenter became head of Administration and Accounts. From this point the company continued to grow, expanding its customer base with more investment in machinery and improving the skill levels of its ever-growing number of employees.
2007
With the increased number of machines, the need for relocation to larger premises was realised in mid-2007 when the company moved into a 6000 sq/ft unit. During the following months new larger Offices, Inspection, and Conference Rooms were created. In response to marketplace demands a fully integrated database has been installed to streamline the efficient running of the company.
2013
In April 2013 Daniel Carpenter, a long-term sports car lover, began building his own V-Storm WR3 sports car. He made a few parts for friends and thought there might be a market in custom parts and bespoke one-offs so decided to start DJC Custom Designs LTD.
2015
After the success of DJC Custom Designs which solely offered Sportscars parts, DJC Sportscars was founded in 2015 and now offers complete cars.
2025
We have now had 10 years in the industry as DJC Sportscars and are proud to be one of the UK’s leading independent hand-built sports car manufacturers.
About the history of the V-Storm WR3
The building of the V-Storm WR3 was commenced in 2013 by Daniel Carpenter, who was not only a sports car enthusiast but also a highly trained engineer. This combination fuelled the passion for Daniels’s long-lived vision for a hand-built exoskeleton sports car. In time this led to him custom-building the meticulously designed and award-winning V-Storm WR3. The V-Storm WR3 has won the award for ‘Car of the Year’ and combines innovative design, precision engineering, Sabaru powered, and an F1 central driving position for an exhilarating 3-seater drive.
