Ignition Japan was founded by Tommy.F, an engineer with more than 25 years of experience in Japanese vehicle development

Ignition Japan

Tommy works directly with contacts across Japan to help collectors find, evaluate, purchase, and import 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 seller communication, negotiations, and purchase
  • Arrange export, shipping, and U.S. delivery through trusted partners

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 engineering-based evaluation and buyer-focused coordination from search to delivery.
