Lectus Cars

Japanese Imports

Cars that didn’t
cross the border. Until now.

Hand-picked JDM stock, sourced and prepared in-house. Auction-grade transparency, fully UK-compliant.

Why an import

An ocean of better cars.

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

From Japan to your driveway.

We source

We bid at Japanese auctions on your behalf, prioritising condition, mileage and provenance over headline price. You see the grading sheets.

We import

Shipping, customs, IVA testing, MOT, type approval, registration. Every step handled in-house so you don’t touch a form.

We hand over

Inspected, valeted, on UK plates, with a 6-month Blue Chip warranty. Booked viewing — we keep it private and unhurried.

Lectus Cars

A story told in three chapters.

Chapter 01

The workshop

A small operation in Nazeing.

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

Run by John.

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.”
— John, Founder

Chapter 03

The practice

One thing, done carefully.

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.

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

It was a pleasure working with John and Steve from Lectus Cars. They offer a great selection of high-quality vehicles, and the BMW X5 50i M Sport Plus I purchased was in impeccable technical condition. They were also very helpful with arranging financing, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend them — you can trust their expertise and professionalism.
