Just having a look around...

Wasn't much on the rather small forecourt, mind you.

A Veilside MR2 Turbo, a couple of 300ZXs, a couple of Mitsu' GTOs and a Skyline GTS.

I guess they must have a warehouse somewhere else!

Afraid not, mate. Have to say it's not much of a place, or at least that was my impression. All I can tell you is that it's near the Cambridg Estate (crap bit of Kingston).

The supra place was called The Japanese Import Centre, but there was another website with an almost identical name. I visited the supra place and test drove a couple of Mk IVs. Seemed to be run by a couple of decent blokes, though body mods seemed to be high on their list of priorities. The URL was www.japanese-car-imports.co.uk/ but it no longer works. Guess they might have wound things up?

Its looking that way, as you said they seemed decent enough people. Oh well have to use www.fensport.co.uk via mail order, prices seem resonable enough.

As long as they are reputable then I will travel a reasonable distance (any chance to have a blast in my newly acquired mota)

I drive past Car Imports Direct in Bristol most days on my way to work:

www.car-imports-direct.com

which is on Winterstoke Road. Don't know anything about them though. There's also:

www.bristolimportsdirect.net/

but again, don't know anything about them.

Thnx Kitt those were the two I was going to mention.Theres also a new Jap import auction recently started at Avonmouth on Weds (I've only been once & it was mostly ppl carriers etc,tho they did say they were getting more performance cars in.
The Bristol import centre on Winterstoke rd have some good Quality cars,I found them A bit pushy tho,IMO.
