An R34, an A80, an S15, a Land Cruiser, a Hiace, an Alphard or a tiny kei truck: grey imports sit outside the usual dealer price books, so owners get lowballed. We know these cars, and UK-market Japanese cars too. Ask for a figure online, it is free. We come anywhere in Britain for nothing, take no fees, transfer the money that day and keep the offer open for a week.
- On a V5C or still on Japanese export papers

Why JDM owners sell to us
Grey import know-how
Sports cars, people carriers, off-roaders, vans and kei cars: we price them on what they are, not on a UK book figure.
Wheel on the right
Japan drives on the left like us, so JDM cars are RHD. Import paperwork is familiar ground for us.
Japanese documents read
Export certificate, de-registration paper, auction sheet and translation: we know what each one says.
Paid while we wait
Transfer made with our driver still there, usually showing within minutes. The car stays put until you are happy.
No charges at all
No admin, BACS or transfer fee. Valuing and collecting anywhere in the UK costs nothing.
Loans cleared
We settle outstanding UK finance in the deal, even if it is more than the car is worth.
km clocks are fine
Plenty of JDM cars read km. Give us the number and say it is km.
Modded or not on plates
Mods are welcome, and unregistered cars on export papers are considered.
Any day of the week
We answer seven days, so a Sunday message about your Silvia still gets a reply.
Selling your JDM car: 3 steps
Share the details
Enter the UK plate (or chassis number if unregistered), the km or miles shown and some basics. Or WhatsApp photos and the auction sheet, if there is one.
See our price
We quote a figure based on spec, grade and paperwork, valid for 7 days.
Collection and payment
Choose the date. Our driver visits any UK address, pays you, then drives off.

Japanese import documents, in plain English
The papers a JDM car arrives with, what they prove, and which we need.
De-registration certificate
Permanent de-registration paper. Kei cars have their own version.
Auction sheet
Inspector's grade, mileage check and damage map from the Japanese auction.
Shaken records
Japan's strict inspection. Old certificates add to the history.

Japanese car and JDM import FAQs
Which Japanese cars do you take?
Sports cars such as Skyline GT-R, Supra, Silvia, RX-7, Evo and Impreza STI; people carriers like Alphard, Vellfire, Estima, Elgrand and Delica; 4x4s like Land Cruiser, Prado and Pajero; Hiace vans; kei cars and trucks. Any condition.
Is a JDM car left-hand drive?
No. Japan drives on the left as we do, so home-market cars are RHD. That is a big part of why they suit UK roads.
My import has no UK plates yet. Can I sell?
We consider unregistered imports. Tell us which papers you hold, such as the export or de-registration certificate and any NOVA or customs papers, and we will explain.
The clock is in km. Problem?
None. Give us the figure and say it is km.
Should I send the auction sheet?
Please do. The grade and inspector notes help us understand the car and price it fairly.
Do mods lower the offer?
Usually not. Send a full list with photos and receipts if you can.
How am I paid?
Bank transfer with our driver present. Funds usually arrive in minutes. Keys are handed over only once you see the money.
Is collection really free?
Yes, anywhere in Britain, including storage units and import agents' yards if you can get us access. You pick the time.
My car is over in mainland Europe. Is that OK?
Collection from mainland Europe is possible. Say where it is and we will talk you through it.
What is the 7-day price hold?
Once we quote, that price is fixed for a week.
Can I see prices on the website?
No. No two imports are the same, so we price each one separately. The quote is free and you are under no obligation.
