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.

Keith Hogg

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.

John is really good. Very open, friendly and most of all fair. I firmly believe in you but into people not the product. And with the intention of just viewing the car and showing it to my wife as she was worried about the size of a Discovery 5 SUV - however we were sold by John. He let us moot around the car, drive it in the area around his plot. We took it for a formal test drive on the road. He was able to cut a good deal which included an extended 12 month warranty with Blue Chip and we were able to pick up the car the next day. If you are in the Hertfordshire region looking to buy a car. You need to speak and take a look at John and his stock of cars first.

This place is A++ sales and service. We drove 2hours to buy our Lexus Gs from here and it was just as expected. John is amazing and very helpful person. They make the paperwork easy, process smooth and stress-free. Would 100% recommend.

Angelika Papi

Brilliant service, and very friendly from the whole team .. Bought a Range Rover l405 The car genuinely was much better in the flesh than any of the pictures or video on there website. I traveled over 300 miles for this car from the Lake District Cumbria.. obviously to there garage in Broxbourne .. And having now owned it for nearly 3 weeks and doing over 1200 miles in the first week.. it’s a dream to drive and been completely trouble free… Many many thanks I would recommend this garage to anyone

Martin Watts

I had a great experience with Lectus Cars they were super helpful and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. They were happy to accommodate my timings and even had the car fully serviced and MOT’ed before I picked it up. Altogether it was a smooth, positive car-buying experience. I would definitely buy from them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
