About Ryokou
Ryokou founder John Veevers has had a long lasting adoration for automotive electrical systems, JDM performance, and especially Toyota/Lexus brand models from the mid to late 1990s
From the first Toyota Soarer 1JZ built back in 2007, to the 1UZ V8 '95 Supra Aerotop, his passion for customising in OEM+ style has led to Ryokou, and the ethos of subtle, robust customization and modernisation of this herioc era of performance cars.
This passion spawned a creative excitement around all things auto-electric, leading to a path of automotive EDS design, that first started with a whole vehicle transplant of a 1998 Lexus LS electrical system into a 1994 Toyota Supra, culminating in the realisation of a completely unique vehicle.
Combined with extensive experience of vehicle design & development within OEMs, that drive to create has transferred into the modern era, and takes on a brand new shape as we move towards an electrified automotive world
Ryokou Automotive's mission is to provide seemless, stress free solutions to our clients and realise their designs & projects on time and to the highest quality standards.
