Does anyone know if japimportcars is a legitimate company?

This is what comes up on Companies House: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10761150

If its the same one then it's a company - but possibly a one-person operation.

A quick look at their stock list suggests that you'd be asking for trouble by buying sight-unseen (even more than normal), so do your DD on their legitimacy at the same time as you view the car.

I very much doubt they have all 170 cars in stock. Many are probably cars available to them, perhaps sale-or-return, for fresh imports perhaps still in Japan and they'll purchase when they have a seller lined up.

The word on the specialist forums is steer well clear. Tales of bait and switch from the shiny cars on the website to battered rusty wrecks with no service records. Tales of aggressive sales staff. Regular changes of business name.

Just looking at the website puts me off. No address of business, multiple photo locations. Very shiny show cars that are not advertised anywhere else.

White tvr advertised on site SHY630G dvla says its purple and mot expired March 2020 and last taxed Feb 2018.

White Ford yd10hwh last taxed and mot end of 2020.

By all means arrange to view but go in with your eyes open and do your due diligence before handing over any money.
