Our Model

The Agency Approach

We operate as an agency importer — you fund the vehicle directly, and we manage the entire import, compliance and preparation process on your behalf.

This keeps costs lower than traditional dealerships and means you're always in control of your money. Every vehicle is sourced specifically for you — we never hold stock we don't own.

Our fee covers our expertise, sourcing relationships, and complete UK preparation. Everything else goes directly into your vehicle.

Why This Works

Traditional importers buy stock speculatively and mark it up. We don't. Our margin is fixed, transparent, and earned through expertise — not inventory risk.

Lower Cost to You

No stock financing cost passed on. You pay for the car, not someone else's warehouse.

Chosen Specifically for You

Your Jimny is hand-picked based on your exact spec and colour requirements.

Full Transparency

You see every cost. No hidden margins, no mystery charges, no end-of-deal surprises.
