Import finance for dealers buying from Japanese auctions
Brooklands funding is available only for vehicles bought through the Brooklands Japanese auction route. It is not standalone finance for UK stock, private imports or vehicles sourced elsewhere.
Brooklands helps UK motor dealers fund vehicles bought from Japanese auctions through the Brooklands route.
The funding is part of the buying process. It is not standalone finance for vehicles bought elsewhere, UK auction stock or private imports.
Dealers choose the vehicles they want to pursue, set their own bids and buy with an initial deposit. Brooklands then helps fund the vehicle through the import period and organise shipping, documentation and customs handling into the UK.
Funding the import gap, not general stocking finance
Buying from Japan creates a specific cashflow gap.
A vehicle may be secured at auction, but it still has to be paid for, shipped, documented, cleared through customs and moved towards UK sale before the money comes back into the dealership.
Brooklands funding is built around that import period for vehicles bought through our route. It is not a general dealer stocking finance product.
How funding supports dealer-controlled bidding
The dealer stays in control of the purchase.
You review the available Japanese auction stock, choose the vehicles worth pursuing and set the bid you are prepared to make.
If a vehicle is secured through Brooklands, you buy with an initial deposit while Brooklands helps fund the vehicle through the import period.
What Brooklands helps fund and organise
Initial deposit
Buy through the Brooklands route without putting the full landed cost into the deal at the point of auction purchase.
Funding through import
Brooklands helps fund the vehicle while it moves from Japanese auction purchase towards UK arrival.
Shipping and customs handling
Brooklands organises shipping, documentation and customs handling through the Brooklands process.
Who this is for
This is for UK motor dealers buying stock for resale through the Brooklands Japanese auction route.
It may suit dealers looking at Japanese auctions for the first time, and dealers already importing who want a UK-based process with dealer-controlled bidding, transparent auction pricing and funding through the import period.
It is not for private buyers, consumer car finance, UK auction purchases or vehicles sourced outside the Brooklands route.
The deposit position, funding period and import costs are discussed before any bidding begins, so dealers understand the likely cash requirement before committing to a vehicle.
