Spectrum Imports

General information

Step 1. Hand Picked
We pride ourselves on working closely with you at each step of the Personal and Trade Import process. Even if you’re searching for an especially rare limited edition we have the experience and contacts to locate otherwise difficult to source vehicles.

Step 2. Inspection
Once we’ve located a desirable vehicle we arrange for our Japanese team to inspect the vehicle in the flesh. If our engineer’s report meets both yours and our standards only then will we bid up to a pre-agreed budget.

Step 3. Purchase
Once successful Japanese FOB (freight on board) costs are due and your vehicle is de-registered. It’s then transported to our secure compound and booked on the next available shipping vessel in preparation for export. At this point you’ll be emailed a detailed photo album.

Step 4. Import
Soon after leaving Japan we’ll give you an accurate ETA of when your car will land on UK soil. Upon arrival all taxes are due to the shipping agent.

Step 5. Drive away
If a personal import the vehicle will undergo all necessary UK conversions and compliance testing before being eligible for full UK registration. Any further agreed upgrades are now carried out before your new vehicle is ready to drive away.
