Tell us the car. We will find it.
Fill this in and a person — not an autoresponder — will come back within one working day with three options, a landed price for each and a realistic timeline.
How it works
- 01
Tell us what you want
Give us the model, the spec and your budget. If you are not sure, describe how you will use the car and our passionate team will help you find your perfect match.
- 02
We bid at auction
We watch the Japanese auctions daily and, with your approval, bid on the car. You approve the ceiling price before we bid. We take a deposit before bidding and full payment for the vehicle once we win the auction. If we are outbid, your deposit is returned in full.
- 03
Shipping and customs
We handle export paperwork, marine insurance, shipping and UK customs clearance. You get updates at every stage and a fixed cost, direct to any port in the UK.
- 04
Registered and ready
IVA where required, MOT, DVLA registration and number plates. The car is valeted, warranted for a minimum of 3 months and delivered to your door.
Your import request
It takes about three minutes. Nothing here commits you to anything.

Before you send it
The things almost everyone asks us at this point.
Six to eight weeks from winning the auction to the car sitting on your drive is typical. Shipping is about four to five weeks of that; the rest is customs, testing and registration.
Before we bid you get the auction sheet, its translation and photographs from our agent in Japan, and you approve the car and the ceiling price. Cars already in our stock can be viewed and test driven at our Sutton branch.
Most Japanese models share parts with UK or European versions, and the rest are readily available from specialist suppliers. We can recommend independent garages near you that know these cars well.
Most mainstream insurers will cover an import, and specialist brokers often offer agreed-value policies. We can give you a quote reference and chassis details so you can compare prices before you commit.
