We specialise in sourcing the best vehicles. This is why we are constantly told by clients that the vehicles we source are well above the condition of most others on the local market.
The pictures are typical of the information we provide prior to auction for each vehicle of interest, with any faults shown so you can clearly see the condition before we discuss whether to bid, and your budget.
Whether you’re looking for a 1970 Toyota Corolla KE20 like this, or another year, make or model, we can find it for you in nice condition and at the best possible price.
It is vital when sourcing your vehicle to use an agent that takes the time to physically check each vehicle and looks beyond the auction pictures and report to confirm condition. Some vehicles may have an unpleasant smoke or other odour, rust underneath, or other faults which are impossible to know without inspection.

View auction inspection details and pictures for this 1993 R32 GTR
I’ve always loved the R32 Nissan Skyline GTR…. since the Bathurst days. I finally decided that i wanted one as a collectible as good ones are hard to come by. After exhausting myself looking for one in mint stock condition locally, I decided to import one from Japan.
I called a few importers and Geoff @ Prestige Motorsport seemed to me someone who genuinely was interested in helping me find the GTR I was after. After signing up, Geoff kept me informed with cars I may be interested in and which auctions to look out for.
I eventually found the right car and Geoff kept me updated about the details of the car and sent lots of photos before the auction so I knew what I was paying for.
I’m very happy with the car and the service I received from Geoff at Prestige Motorsport to source my 1993 R32 GTR. I would happily recommend him to whoever is interested to source a car from Japan.
