Two roads to the same garage
You can have a car that is already here, or you can have exactly the car you want. The first takes a week. The second takes a season. Both end with you holding the keys and none of the paperwork.
Buy from the collection
The fastest way in. Every car has cleared customs, satisfied its market's import rule and been titled.
Typically under a week

Browse the collection. Every car is physically here, already through customs and titled. Prices are what you pay — no import costs waiting behind them.

See it
Come to the showroom, or we will send a full walkaround video and put you on a call with whoever inspected it. Independent third-party inspection is welcomed.
- 03
Take it
Pay by wire or arrange financing. We transfer the title, and you collect in person or we deliver anywhere in North America.
Commission a search
For when only one specification will do. We find it at auction in Japan and bring it home for you.

Brief us
Model, trim, colour, mileage ceiling, budget. We come back with what is realistically available and what it will cost you landed.

We hunt
Roughly thirty thousand cars cross the block weekly across the Japanese auction houses. We watch every relevant lot and send you candidates with the auction sheet translated in full.
- 03
We inspect
Before any bid, an inspector goes to the car in person. Every panel, the underside, the engine bay, cold start. You see all of it before we agree a maximum.
- 04
We buy and ship
We win the lot, settle with the auction house, handle export deregistration and book freight. Four to six weeks on the water.
- 05
We clear and deliver
Customs entry, federal declarations, duty, compliance and registration. It arrives at your door titled and road legal.
The things people want to know before they commit
- Can I see the car before I buy it?
- Yes, and we would rather you did. The showroom is open by appointment six days a week. If you cannot travel, we will send a full walkaround video and arrange an independent inspection by a third party of your choosing, at your cost.
- Are these cars road legal, or is there paperwork left?
- Road legal. Every car in the collection has cleared customs, satisfied the import rule for its market and been titled. There is nothing left for you to file.
- What if something is wrong with the car?
- We list every fault we know about on the listing itself, because you would find them anyway. What we do not do is sell a car with a problem we have hidden. If we have missed something, we will tell you the moment we find it.
- Do you deliver outside California and British Columbia?
- Anywhere in the United States and Canada, by enclosed or open transport. Delivery is quoted separately and depends on distance.
- How much does sourcing cost?
- A fixed fee, agreed in writing before we place a single bid, on top of the hammer price and the shipping and clearance costs. The estimator on the sourcing page itemises every line so you can see exactly where the money goes.
- What happens if you lose the auction?
- We bid on the next one. There is no charge for an unsuccessful bid, and no limit on how many we try. You pay when you own a car.
