Is this the greatest collection of JDM tuner cars in the UK?
Step inside this shiny, colourful and exciting cave of wonders... in an anonymous industrial estate in England
There exists, in an anonymous industrial estate near to one of Britain’s major airports, a cave of JDM wonder.
It’s called HJA (Harlow-Jap-Autos) and is run by two brothers who have grown it into an internationally renowned business that imports specialist Japanese models to the UK.
