Bought an Ep3 Civic Type R from Will in mint condition considering its age. The purchase was hassle free and I am over the moon with my new car! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service, our new DC5 was so clean when we arrived to collect I almost didn’t want to get it dirty driving home. The sales process was painless & Will sorted all our paperwork for us which was great.

I’d been searching for a EP3 CTR for some while when I stumbled across one for sale from these guys. The advert contained a huge amount of info and a lot of high-quality photos. Needless to say the car was just as good as it appeared online. Communication was good, and any questions I had were promptly answered.

The car was accurately described and exactly what I expected it to be. Great communication before and after sales. I would certainly recommend SWI.

After searching for a BNR32 in the UK tirelessly and to no avail, a friend who had used SWI earlier in the year recommended I got in touch about importing directly from Japan. I had limited knowledge about the whole process, and was somewhat skeptical.
After numerous phone calls & emails, we started looking for potential vehicles. Over the course of roughly 8 weeks we entered bids on a few selected vehicles, with most going over my budget. However, we did eventually secure exactly what I was looking for!
All relevant paperwork and customs clearance was taken care of on my behalf, and shortly after the car landed into the UK I had it delivered. The car was exactly as described, if not better! As a whole I experienced great service, and would highly recommend - from the outset the guys were very patient and were not the usual pushy salesmen.read more

Will is a genuine nice lad who invited us into his home and even let us use his computer to sort out tax and insurance cover. Top quality customer service and brilliant EP3. Thank you.

Will was great to deal with. He offered great advice, and was happy to help with any questions I had. After agreeing a budget, we started bidding on potential vehicles. Within a short space of time SWI secured a vehicle, which we initially thought would run over budget! In terms of after sales all relevant paperwork and documents were handled on my behalf. I recommend South West Imports wholeheartedly.read more

I was recommended by a friend to contact Will at South West Imports to try and find a buyer for my wife's much loved 1986 Peugeot 205 GTi, that she has owned and carefully looked after for the past 20 years! As soon as we met Will we knew her car was in safe hands. Will was incredibly helpful and handled all the advertising and photography, keeping us informed along the way Eventually he found us the perfect buyer, someone who loved the car as much as we did. We couldn't be happier and we would definitely recommend him to all.read more
