Ignition Japan

Now based in the United States, Tommy works directly with contacts across Japan to help collectors make confident decisions when acquiring exceptional cars from Japan.

His approach is shaped by a deep understanding of how these vehicles were originally engineered - and what defines true originality, condition, and long-term value.

What I do

  • Source vehicles selectively through trusted networks in Japan
  • Evaluate condition and originality beyond listings
  • Coordinate purchase and export with independent oversight
  • Support delivery to the U.S. with a controlled process

Approach

Rather than focusing on availability or trends, each decision is guided by judgment. The goal is not simply to find a car, but to identify one worth preserving - and avoid those that are not.

Ignition Japan exists to bridge the gap between Japan's market and collectors in the United States - combining direct access in Japan with thoughtful, independent, buyer-focused support on the U.S. side.
