The Appeal

Japanese manufacturers are well-known for keeping the best vehicles for themselves. That's why Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars are so sought after, as they're generally the best versions of any given model. There are also Japan only models - cars we seldom see anywhere else in the world. Take this Toyota Progrès, for example.

A very well-equipped mid-size luxury saloon powered by the renowned Toyota 1JZ engine, this 2005 Progrès would make a supremely capable cruiser, eminently suited to daily driving duties or long-distance road trips. Freshly imported from Japan, now UK registered and MOT tested, (resulting in a clean pass), this lesser-seen modern classic Toyota is ready to enjoy.
