Have a look in either of the 2 jap car mags...Japanese Performance or Banzi....both available from WHSmith's, there's usually a few ads for jap auctions etc.

Or try Newera Imports. They have a resident buyer in Japan called Miguel who purchases really nice cars all the time. You can even give him a call in Japan to discuss your requirements. Im on my 3rd car from Miguel and would not hesitate to go back.

Wouldn't you be better of just letting reputable importer sort it all out for you, make sure you get a good one, do all the dirty work, and most of them offer years warranty too!

If you email me as profile; I will tell you what price a vehicle is selling for at auction at the moment. Remember that this will be excluding de-reg and transportation / port fees. btw; I wouldnt touch TAU with a ****ty stick... the same goes for nearly all of the 'companies' that you will find on the internet

For scoobies http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk seem to have good reports/reputation.
For everything (dunno if they've been mentioned yet) http://www.neweraimports.com/index.htm have a great reputation across every board i've been on (a few ) hence why i'm using them. This reputation comes from only buying the best examples which is just what i'm after

Yes, my vote goes to Miguel @ NewEra, he found me a minter of a v5 Type R V-Ltd.
Just look at the NewEra testimonial page to see my car

whats the websites base in japan etc?
the ones were they take car of shipping etc etc, and you pay them via bank transfer, they ship the car and paperwork to you and all you have to do is poodle off down to the docks to pick it up?

Apples.... nail on the head!
Yes, apart from the dealers - are there online sites where I can view the motors myself? I will still go through a dealer but nice to know whats out there first..
