Why Import Directly from Japan?

Importing directly from Japan gives you access to a much wider choice of vehicles than those available in the UK. Many Japanese vehicles benefit from:

How the Process Works

1. Tell us what you're looking for

Contact us with your requirements: make and model, budget, preferred specification, mileage, colour preferences and any must-have features.

2. Vehicle search

Once we understand exactly what you're looking for, we'll begin searching Japanese dealer networks and auction listings to identify suitable vehicles that match your requirements.

3. Vehicle sourcing deposit

To begin the sourcing process, we require a £500 refundable vehicle sourcing deposit. This deposit allows us to actively search for suitable vehicles, review auction listings and assess potential purchases on your behalf.

The deposit remains fully refundable until a vehicle has been agreed and purchased under your instruction. Once a vehicle has been secured, the deposit is deducted from the final purchase price. If we are unable to source a suitable vehicle within the agreed criteria, your deposit will be refunded in full.

4. Vehicle assessment

Potential vehicles are carefully checked using available inspection reports, auction grades and vehicle history information. We only recommend vehicles that meet our standards and your requirements.

5. Purchase & shipping

Once a suitable vehicle has been found and approved by you, we arrange purchase, shipping and importation to the UK.

6. UK preparation & registration

Upon arrival, the vehicle is prepared for UK roads, registered with the DVLA and thoroughly inspected before handover.

7. Collection or delivery

Your vehicle will be ready for collection from our Eastbourne premises, or delivery can be arranged where available.
