Newera Imports was established in September of 1998. Having watched many companies sprout up and disappear in competition, we are the only importer that has grown and expanded. We believe this is because of the consistent quality of cars and service we supply – which has in turn helped build an enviable reputation – one that others cannot match!

Our Expert Team is predominantly based at our office in Tokyo, Japan. Unlike most other retail Import suppliers, we believe it’s of vital importance to be at the source of cars so we can personally hand pick each car we supply and oversee it’s preparation and shipping.

We also supply other countries, with many happy customers as far as Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Zambia, Australia, New Zealand, etc!

In our commitment to providing the best service possible, we have set up a UK Number which when called will transfer to Japan automatically via the internet. You’ll pay just a UK national call, yet you’ll be speaking with our sales office in Japan. Now that’s service!

Expanding to provide ever increasing support – our parts department is also reachable on the same number, offering fast delivery of a large range of performance and OEM parts. Our English speaking staff and ever ready to help – Call us and experience the difference!

Gareth Brunt

Newera Developments Ltd. is a dedicated workshop for preparation of cars in addition to tuning and service work. The workshop is run as a separate business from Newera Imports, but operates as a support system – for preparation of each car we supply OTR in the UK.

As your car arrives, it’s transported to the workshop, ready for UK preparation. The staff there are in contact promptly as the car is delivered, to discuss with you options available for the preparation of your car to your requirements. The workshop takes care of all modifications, testing (MOT / SVA), and other UK workshop requirements such as qualified alarm & tracker fitment, body-kit painting & fitment, minor paintwork repairs, leather conversions, UK registration, valetting, etc.

Gareth Brunt runs the workshop. He first met Miguel in 1996 when they were neighbours in Brighton. Miguel’s interest in cars and bikes rubbed off on Gareth (Who was a teenager when they met). From the beginning, Miguel saw that he was an absolute perfectionist in his work. He completed 4 year's training with a Mercedes Benz main dealer in Brighton, where he became one of their premier technicians. He is qualified to NVQ level 3 and holds an HNC in automotive repair and engineering. During his time at MB, he carried out work to the highest level including complete rebuilding of engines, as well as solving complicated electrical / electronic problems, etc.

For fun, he also completely restored a 1983 Porsche 911 3.0 SC including full mechanical rebuild - a car he still has today. His work with Newera Imports started off in Tokyo as senior staff. Having spent a year in Japan with us, he gained first hand experience in knowing exactly how Newera works in Japan, as well as how each customer's car must be completed to the highest standards. This training combined with his excellent mechanical skills has led to development of the new workshop, able to hold 15 cars complete with full facilities and maximum security. There are 3 full time staff and the services of dent removal specialists and such – Contacts made through Gareth’s work with MB (Very high quality preparation).

Our Supporters are our delighted clients. Much of our business comes from word of mouth and that’s because we do what we say we will.

As one recent customer put it “Newera does what it says on the tin”.

You may be offered cheap cars elsewhere, but it’s unlikely you’ll find superior hand-picked quality, genuine value and service for your budget there. See many of the Testimonials our clients have written as a result of the car they own – sourced through Newera.

Newera Imports remains a business run with huge passion & knowledge for Japanese cars and resultant professionalism in how we work. We feel this is the way a car supply business should be operated, with a conscious emphasis on service and informative direct customer contact throughout the supply process. We do this in combination with only sourcing the cars we’d be delighted to own ourselves.

Since 1998 many customers have embraced our system & fully experienced the benefits of having their car sourced directly by Newera in Japan. We hope that you too will enjoy Newera Difference and therein choose us to supply your own specially selected Japanese Car.
