Keith and the team at the Care Warehouse have been absolutely spot on throughout the process of getting our car. Initially responding quickly to my queries on their stock and process through to after sales care when the car we bought developed a minor fault (we bought a 15 year old car) and the best course of action to fix it with the least impact to us. If you're thinking of importing something interesting to drive I cannot recommend them enough.

First time I have bought an import from Japan and it was German. Keith was very helpful and let us test drive and poke around the car for 90 mins. Everything was straight forward and he made it very easy. Highly recommend a browse of there website. The condition of the cars coming from a place where salt isn't used on the road is unbelievable. Even though more than 10 years old my car is better than a car just several months old in the UK.

People were friendly enough. Just be sure to make an appointment. Didn't get to view the car I was interested in as I just turned up while working near by and didn't have an appointment

I bought a JDM car from them and overall had a very good experience but after a few months of ownership of the vehicle, a lot of issues starting cropping up. Some of them will have been present when the vehicle was first sold to me. Due to the fact that I bought this car during the COVID-19 pandemic, I didn't see the car before buying it. (Yeah, rookie mistake - lesson learned.) The vehicle I bought looked clean on the photos and fair enough it is a nice example however the were a lot of problems which popped up whilst driving the car for the first few months. They are as follows: - The windscreen wipers were ruined - The windscreen washer fluid was like milk - The windscreen washers themselves (front) were not working properly - The boot area has a huge leak (still present) - The car somehow passed the MOT even though the windscreen wipers and washers were pretty much ineffective and there were no advisories - The rear bumper has a metal plate on top to protect the paint when loading the boot, the plate is bent and out of shape and has damaged the paint on the tailgate - The number plates were mounted badly. - The tyres despite having good tread; were 19 years old with a date code of 1401 The most concerning thing about this is how it passed an MOT because it was not roadworthy. This dealership which specialises in imported vehicles should test their vehicles thoroughly before sale to ensure they are fully roadworthy. A rear wheel drive car with 19 year old tyres is a recipe for disaster. Luckily I caught on to it quickly and replaced them without wrapping myself and the car around a lamppost on a wet roundabout. Overall the experience itself was fine but the car had a lot of simple problems which should have been fixed before sale.

IMMACULATE CLASSIC 10 SEATER WEDDING BUS ( 9 removable passenger seats ) This vehicle is Asquith Mascot was built to order for a customer in japan , it was built on the very reliable ford transit 2.0 petrol chassis .It has been in japan ever since and so is free from rot or rust .The Mascot combines both the heritage and classic lines of a 1920s vintage bus with modern day engineering.This would make an ideal wedding bus or vintage bus hire for festivals or private hire. These vehicles can retail upto £50000 or more if in good condition , this particular vehicle has been in the perfect climate for a classic We have added some pictures of some other promotional buses ................................................................................................ Two entrepreneurs, Crispin Reed and Bruce West, who had been running a successful reproduction furniture business, formed the Asquith Motor Carriage Company Ltd in July 1981. The partners decided it would be fun to restore a vintage 1928 Austin 12 van, use it for local deliveries and thereby gain much useful publicity. The aged Austin was certainly a great success in promoting the company, but regretfully did not prove very reliable. They had lots of enquiries from people wanting similar vans and so it was decided to develop the idea.Craftsmen who had previously making expensive reproduction Chesterfields, commodes and chairs were put to work on the vehicles and it is hardly surprising to find such luxury antique features as buttoned leather upholstery and burr walnut veneer dashboards Originally based in Great Yeldham in Essex, Asquith Motor Carriage Company Ltd employed 30 fulltime craftsmen who handmade over 1000 vehicles, many exported countries as far away as Japan and USA . In the late 1990s the company experienced some challenges The cost of manufacture had increased, research & development on new vehicle including the London Taxi had spiralled and the cancellation of a large order for Japan forced the company over the edge and into receivership. The company was purchased from the liquidators by Mike Edgar in 1997. A factory to build Shires and Mascots was set up in Dresden in Germany but this closed in 2001 when the River Elbe flooded the factory and destroyed key research data.
