Where do we even start?! Welcome to DPSP16 better known as The Jaffa 🍊😂
What began as a full-blown s*x spec show car back in the early 2000s and even graced the stage at Auto Salon in 2006 unfortunately went through some rough hands over the years. That was until November 2024, when we brought it back to life.
Fast forward to August 2025, and she’s undergone a full ground-up build (minus the paint). With 2 track days and countless street drives under its belt, you wouldn’t believe us if we told you… this is actually a daily driver.
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who’s played a part in this build there are way too many of you to name, but you know who you are 🙏.
