Japanese Imports
Hand-picked JDM stock, sourced and prepared in-house. Auction-grade transparency, fully UK-compliant.
Why an import
Japan’s automotive culture produces the kind of stock UK enthusiasts have been quietly importing for decades: low miles, fanatical service history, and trims that never reached our shores.
We handle every step — sourcing, shipping, IVA, registration — so you drive away a UK-compliant car the same day.

The Process
We bid at Japanese auctions on your behalf, prioritising condition, mileage and provenance over headline price. You see the grading sheets.
Shipping, customs, IVA testing, MOT, type approval, registration. Every step handled in-house so you don’t touch a form.
Inspected, valeted, on UK plates, with a 6-month Blue Chip warranty. Booked viewing — we keep it private and unhurried.
Lectus Cars
Chapter 01
The workshop
One unit on the edge of Hertfordshire. A handful of cars at any time. No salesmen on commission, no walk-ins. Just space, light, and time to talk through a car you’re thinking about for the long term.
Chapter 02
The founder
Fifteen years sourcing JDM stock privately for collectors before opening Lectus to the public. The philosophy didn’t change — we still only bid on cars we’d drive ourselves.
“Every car on our forecourt is one I would happily drive myself.”
Chapter 03
The practice
Sourcing, importing, IVA, registration, prep, handover — all under one roof. A 6-month nationwide Blue Chip warranty in your name. No paperwork left on you.
Appointment only, so each customer gets the time the car deserves.
We’re appointment-only — book a time and we’ll prep the car for you.
Verified Customer Reviews
Recently bought a Volvo V60 imported from Japan from Lectus. John and Steve were a pleasure to deal with. Was a slight software. Issue with the ADAS system which John promised to deal with. John kept in touch throughout and it was sorted promptly. The car is immaculate, couldn't be happier. I will be in the market for a 2 seater convertible in the future, a Z4 or a boxster/cayman, I will not hesitate to give John a call to see if he can source another import for me.
Very helpful and easy to deal with. PartEx was straight forward helped sort the car car.

John and Steve very nice to deal with , Steve very helpful and knowledgeable of cars , will be going back to get car serviced in the future ,
Absolutely brilliant, John was reliable, professional and honest, great experience from start to finish 👍
from the moment I met John for the initial look at the car I found him to be totally honest and easy going with no hard sale at all. He left me on my own to check over the car which i did over a couple of hours, without any interruptions or glossing over anything at all. The car itself so far has been an absolute dream with no issues. I would have no qualms with recommending Lectus Cars.
Genuine and great service, which is hard to find. I couldn't be happier with the service I received
