The 5 Step Process

1: Hand Picked For You

Using our knowledge and experience built up over the years we can guide you as to which cars and auctions will best suit your needs.

2: Inspection

Once we have located a suitable vehicle, we arrange for our Japanese team to inspect the vehicle in the flesh. Only if the engineers report meets both yours and our standards will we bid up to a pre-agreed budget.

3: Purchase

We agreed a sale! The Japanese car costs are now due and your vehicle will be deregistered in Japan. It’s then transported to our secure compound and booked on the next vessel for export. At this stage you will be emailed a detailed photo album.

4: Stress Free import

We’ve been doing this for years. With our added value service we take care of all the hassle involved in the process. We’ll be able to give you a more accurate ETA at this point.

5: Drive Away

Once at Torque GT your vehicle will undergo all necessary UK conversions and compliance testing before UK registration. At this stage we can discuss any extra servicing work, upgrades, underbody protection of detailing services that you require before collection.

Importing a vehicle from Japan costs much more than the purchase price alone, total landed cost includes the vehicle, buyer’s fees, shipping, UK duty and VAT, and compliance/registration. This should all be factored in within your total budget.

Rays Formula FN-2 Wheel Nut Set, 45mm Long - M12x1.5, Blue
Gordon Macrae
Amazing service from torque GT 😎

Amazing service from torque GT. Matt kept me update as the wheel nuts that I wanted were on back order from Rays, Japan. The wheel nuts themselves are fantastic quality, and superb value. I’m delighted with Torque GT and will be ordering more parts for my project cars shortly 😀

Almost built a spoon parts fn2 so thought a little sticker would be great just unsure if to place in the rear window or the boot lid itself.

Spoon Sports Billet Aluminium Gear Knob - 6 Speed
Danny Stringer
Spoon sports gear ****

Wow this is a very nice little touch, I’m not one for messing with the oem looks of a car but it’s super light and feels loving when flicking through gears ( specially at 8000rpm ) and it looks visually better than the round snooker ball oem look. As for torque GT always 5 star service. ordered with my credits and it’s here Saturday after ordering Thursdays night 👌

Fujitsubo exhaust

The exhaust is very nice and exactly as I wanted. Unfortunately it came slightly dented from delivery which is not torque gts fault, it was well communicated and organised getting to a solution and I will recommend them to everyone.
