After speaking with Timberwolf I have his permission to post this ( I hope this the right one wolfie) and to all those who have brought a bus from Mark please add you comments here

Buying a second hand car is always a nervous experience, buying an imported car can be an even worse one.
.
We spent almost a year visiting all the dealers in our area in our quest to find a good Estima, none quite measured up to our requirements or the standard of quality we were looking for. After months of reading our way through the TEOC site we finally decided to follow everyone’s advice and contacted Mark at Tapajen. We e-mailed him asking if he had an Estima in stock with the specs we were looking for.

Unfortunately he had none in stock, but said he would keep a lookout at the Japanese auctions for us. A short while later he informed us that had found one that not only matched our specs but exceeded them.
Mark kept us informed through out by e-mail as to the progress from Japan to the UK and then through its SVA till it was ready for viewing.

We then faced a 400 mile round trip with two kids on one of the hottest days of the year. Arriving at Marks he re-hydrated us, and then showed us round the car and took us for a test drive. We purchased the car and then drove it the 200 miles home. The car even came with enough fuel to get us home, and still leave us with1/4 of a tank of fuel left.

We have now had the car over a month now and no faults have appeared at all. Every button, switch and item works as new. The car bodywork is in excellent shape, as is the interior. The biggest shock I got was when I got underneath the car. I have seen 3 month old cars with worse under bodies that this, no rust at all just pristine paintwork covered in clear Wax oil.

Purchasing from Mark has been a pleasure, and a safe one at that. Our car far exceeds the standard offered by our local dealers in both quality and price. It was worth the 400 mile round trip in a day to get a car of this excellent standard, and the honest personal service offered by Mark.

Thinking of buying from Tapajen?......No worries, your safe.....

Thanks Mark…….

Here are a few more of our members comments about Tapajen Cars

i've just bought an estima off mark allen of tapajen motors.
i'm new to this site and i am just trying to tell people what a total pleasure this experience was.
mark allen is a total gent, and i would and will deal with him again.
thanks to all the people who informed me about him.
to mark allen himself thankyou for all your help and congratulations and best wishes to you and your new wife.


I purchased my bus from mark one year ago now and nervously put her in for MOT today( Mot's always worry me). The bloke in the garage was well impressed with her condition and she passed with only two minor advisories.
Anyone thinking of buying from Mark STOP THINKING AND GO BUY ONE! Marks service from my 1st contact to aftersales care is second to none! MANY THANKS MARK


Just call Mark at Tapajen Cars: Tapajen Cars

My wife's car was written off during the recent storm...

Mark gave us insurance advise to make sure we got the most money back possible (he even offered to speak to the insurance company to aid our case) / Talked us through all the options to replace (I had managed to confuse myself royally until I spoke to Mark) / He had the patience of a saint as we dithered over colour, spec and price etc / answered every concern I brought up after visiting other dealers / lent us a vehicle (FREE) whilst we where still faffing about with insurance payments etc / Found exactly what we wanted at the right price / Fitted an imobiliser, a new quality CD/Radio, Remote Central locking and converted the speedometer face from KPH to MPH.

I have just picked it up, and it is imaculate... Fully serviced, timing belt changed, donuts sorted, wax/grease underseal and even door hinges greased... and there are probably many other bits tweaked to... Great job BOB!!!

I am even looking forward to the next service, because all I have to do is call Mark and his service technicain (BOB) will come out to me!!!!

I can not imagine there is anybody out there that provides this level of excellent service and expertise. I know every other dealer I have dealt with doesn't

We are delighted... Thank you very much Mark!!!

As I come across recommendations I will add them to this thread



Hi all,

Here's our story:

We've got three kids aged within 20 months of each other and the dear old Mitsubishi 2.4 V6 Estate wasn't really doing the job any more. As much as we loved it we realised that we needed something bigger to make travelling that bit less stressful.

Looked at quite a few alternatives in the Sharan/Alhambra/Galaxy (sorry for swearing), Previa size and frankly for the money they all looked rubbish. For £15k you can get a reasonable one but even then the UK spec' is not that impressive - and we didn't have anything like £15k to throw at a car. Saw an Estima, thought "What's that?". Definitely better looking than all those alternatives, less overweight and from a manufacturer that we were happier with.

Found this site, lurked a while, then contacted Mark Allen at Tapajen. Having never driven an Estima before, Mark invited us over to Welwyn to drive his loan car - which we did and we liked it and instantly trusted Mark. Then, with Mark's help, we chose a car from his site, paid the deposit and waited patiently while the car took a cruise. Smiley

Mark kept us informed all the way and very kindly lent us his loan Estima for a few weeks while we sold the Mitsi (needing the funds to put into the Esty project).

To cut a long story short, I picked up our P-Reg, 2.2TD, Dark Blue Lucida with 74,000 km on the clock from Mark last Wednesday (4th). We absolutely love it and it has by far exceeded all of our expectations for a 9 year old car. The level of preparation both inside and out was superb and mechanically it appears as sound as a pound. We also have a nice cosy feeling knowing that Bob has cast his eye over our Lucie and done all the necessaries (see Tapajen website for list of items on the pre-delivery service - very impresive). Original Toyota Mats, retracting mirrors and a CD/minidisc (whatever that is) player are all items that came with the vehicle that we did not expect.

I cannot recommend Tapajen highly enough if you are thinking of buying an Estima. Mark is a good man who has done everything possible for us to make this a dream purchase. Thanks Mark.

Thanks also to you all at the TEOC for all the advice and for the recommendation which has led to this recommendation. Smiley

Just got to save up for a digital camera now so we can post some piccies. You'll be so jealous........
