Why Ramin
Most importers ship cars.
We end arguments.
Every Ramin car is inspected by our two-person team in Yokohama before purchase, photographed cold, and verified against JEVIC or JAAI auction sheets. You see the car as Japan saw it — including the bits other importers crop out.
Auction-direct
We bid at HAA Kobe, USS Tokyo and TAA Kantō. No middlemen. No refurb desk in Sheffield.
On-the-ground inspection
A senior mechanic and a photographer inspect every car cold and provide a 60-photo bond report.

Word of mouth
From the people who wrote the cheque.
“I'd been burned by an importer who 'forgot' to mention an underseal job. Ramin sent me 60 cold photos of an R32 before the auction even started. They became the only people I'd buy from.”
James M.
R32 GT-R, Surrey
“They lost three auctions on my behalf before they won the right car. No fee, no pressure. The Type R arrived exactly as the bond report described.”
Priya S.
EK9 Civic, Manchester
“I'm a stickler. They sent me the auction sheet, JEVIC report, the customs paperwork, the IVA cert — everything, unprompted. No other UK importer does this.”
Daniel R.
FD3S RX-7, Edinburgh
