Our Story
“Built by car people. For car people.”
Twenty years in the motor trade. One opportunity we couldn't ignore, and a UK market that deserves better cars for the money.
Two Decades in the Trade
We have spent 20 years around cars.
We have spent the better part of twenty years in the motor trade — sourcing, buying, selling and moving vehicles. In that time we have watched the industry reinvent itself more than once, and we have learned to tell a genuine shift from a passing trend.
The shift we could not ignore came out of China. Over the last decade its manufacturers have gone from following the establishment to comfortably outpacing it — on battery chemistry, charging speed, real-world range, and the software that ties a modern car together. Specifications that would be a six-figure proposition with a European badge on the bonnet are being built to a genuinely high standard, at a price nobody here is matching.
Meanwhile the UK buyer has been getting less car for more money. The models making headlines abroad arrive late, arrive with their best technology stripped out for our market, or never arrive at all. That gap between what exists and what we are offered is the opportunity, and it is the reason Express Import exists.
So we do it properly. Every car is sourced direct, shipped, cleared through customs, put through UK type approval and fully registered before it reaches you — at one price agreed upfront, with no surprises along the way. It is the same diligence we have applied to every vehicle we have handled for two decades, pointed at a far more interesting product.
“Every car is inspected before it reaches you.”
All vehicles are accident-free, brand new or low mileage, and thoroughly inspected before delivery.
What We Believe
Buy the car, not the badge
A badge tells you who built a car, not how good it is. We judge on range, build, technology and what you actually get for your money.
Technology shouldn't be an optional extra
LiDAR, air suspension, 800V charging and genuinely capable driver assistance are standard equipment on the cars we import, not a costly upgrade.
An import should feel like a purchase
You agree one price and we handle the rest. Sourcing, shipping, customs, type approval and registration are our problem, not yours.
