Testimonials

"I feel I must write to you a letter that you may like to put to your customers. As you know I missed on a couple of your cars because of a car I was selling . However a lovely looking car came up on trade me .It was in North Auckland. I rang the older owner and found he had brought the car off a neighbour, I asked him about any rust problems . He said any rust that was there had been cut out and repaired properly. It had just been re upholstered and as the paintwork was original he had only the mudguards resprayed. It had new tyres and new wheel cylinders and brakes relined.As it had been in storage for 8yrs it had to be certified. But where he lived he said would pose a problem for getting it to the testing station. He said would I get it done from my end. He said everything had been done and it would fly through.I said I would and got it Transported to Palmerston North. When it arrived the first thing the transporter driver said was be carefull it has very poor brakes. Then takingit up a small rise to get it into my garage the clutch was slipping badly. The paint was far from original and the mudgaurds had been sprayed with an aerosol can . These are just a few problems with the car. I rang the seller up told him how disapointed I was and said if I transport it back to him will he refund my money. He said no. As all the dealings I had with him were on the phone and nothing in writing. My hands were tied. Not all Trade Me sellers are honest. Make sure you go to Waimak Classic Cars who I know deal in quality cars."

      Specifications


      Description

       

      Jaguars have always been noted for style, comfort and luxury and this Mark 10 certainly fits the bill.

      This is a 120 MPH very spacious, fully equipped luxury saloon in the best tradition of the famous make. The main impression on taking the wheel of the Jaguar Mk. 10 is of impressively quiet running allied to the tremendous Jaguar performance, accomplished in two-pedal simplicity.

      ABOUT THIS CAR

      • NZ NEW - Low Ownership - Low Mileage
      • Stunning Car - straight, clean body with beautiful shiny paintwork.
      • Rides very comfortably, with only moderate roll on fast corners, which it takes with under steer, and on wet roads the tenacious road-clinging is highly commendable and fully justifies the incorporation of the E-type independent rear suspension, which also, no doubt, is responsible for the good ride of this large car. On the road, that innate refinement shines through with a wonderfully cushioned ride and, while steering and brakes may not be the sharpest, they do contribute to a relaxed and stress-free driving experience.
      • A luxurious cabin in immaculate original condition adds to that sense of relaxation. It is both spacious and well-equipped and is a delightful place to spend time. The car is great for long journeys as a result of this comfort. Settling into the large leather seats and looking out over that vast bonnet is a fine experience, and there are few better saloon barges of the period if comfort is top of your agenda.
      • A very well cared for example - arguably, the finest example of its kind in New Zealand.
      • Exceptionally clean engine bay, boot and undercarriage.
      • Comes complete with factory handbook, factory tool kit, spare wheel, factory jack.
      • Exceptionally well maintained vehicle.

      This Mk10 is a very fine, typically British, 120-m.p.h. executive’s luxury motor carriage of very modern conception. It is another of them “if only I’d bought one when they cheap” classics. For decades they were beer money and, until fairly recently, even ten-out-of-ten examples struggled to beat 15K. Well, you can triple or even quadruple this now.

      A once overlooked Jaguar Saloon that's now finding deserved favour.  An almost four door E Type that's as good as an XJ6 and superior to a Rolls - A Future Classic that's big on everything.

      Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

      TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.

      NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

      Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

      Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

      The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

      The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

      The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
