Default Japanese Import Auction Websites

Does anyone know of any good websites that you can view and bid on (or have someone bid) the cars at auction in japan. I know there used to be one that had some different options ie you pay a little more to them an they would arrange the import and registration mot etc in the UK but I can't find it anymore.

Youve missed the boat! Ten years ago this would have been practical, and perhaps possible, but the exchange rate is now half what it was before (¥240 to £1 in 2002 and ¥120 to £1 in 2012) and the market has disappeared.

I 2nd GC8 it's cheaper to buy a car from the UK unless want something special like a S204 RA-R R205 or S206 which are not available here in the UK.

Cheers for replies I never really keep in touch with the financial market so sisn;t realise this had been the case thought I could maybe source a good clean STI Type R from japan at a better price than they go for over here.

You can get a better example from Japan, but you will pay good money for it £6k+
