The UK’s Japanese Import Car Obsession
Japanese import cars have built a loyal following across the UK, from practical everyday models to high performance JDM icons. For many drivers, the appeal is simple: Japanese vehicles are often well engineered, distinctive, reliable and packed with features that can be harder to find in standard UK-market models.
Whether it’s a Nissan Skyline, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Evo, Honda Integra, Toyota Alphard, Nissan Elgrand or a more unusual Japanese domestic market model, imported Japanese cars offer something different. They attract enthusiasts who know exactly what they want, as well as drivers looking for value, specification, comfort or performance beyond the usual UK forecourt options.
In recent years, interest in Japanese imports has remained strong, with UK buyers continuing to look to Japan for rare models, modern classics, performance cars and high-spec vehicles that were never officially sold here. Specialist importers and insurers both note that the Japanese import market is driven by a mix of value, vehicle condition, specification and enthusiast appeal.
Why Japanese Imports Can Need Specialist Insurance
Although Japanese imports can be perfectly legal to drive in the UK once correctly registered, they are not always straightforward for standard insurers. Many imported cars have specifications that differ from UK models, and some were never officially available in the UK at all. That can affect how an insurer assesses the vehicle, including its value, repair costs, parts availability, performance, modifications and security features.
This is where specialist Japanese import car insurance can make a real difference. A specialist provider is more likely to understand grey imports, JDM models, performance variants, enthusiast vehicles and the practical details that come with owning an imported car in the UK. Imported vehicles may present extra considerations for insurers, including non-standard specifications, limited UK parts availability and registration paperwork.
At Graham Sykes, we understand that Japanese import owners are often passionate about their cars. Whether your vehicle is a weekend project, a cherished modern classic, a performance car, a modified import or simply your everyday drive, we can help you find cover that reflects the vehicle and how you use it.

I was shocked when they offered half price compared to other insurance companies for my 1963 F100. Not only the price but they also reply very quickly, overall a great experience with them.
