Testimonials
Hi Jesmond, Thank you for all your help with the purchase of my classic car. We had a lovely drive home and am very pleased with my purchase. Its running well and now at home in my shed and thank you for the bottle of wine. Very nice doing business with you.

I had been looking for some months to purchase another classic car when I came across a 1998 Jaguar XJ8. Jesmond gave me the history of the car and explained everything he knew about the car. I found Jesmond to be extremely helpful, courteous, honest and a true gentleman. When I went with my son to collect the car, it was in a sparkling condition after a wash and polish with a nice bottle of wine in the back seat. Such a treat! I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase and would not hesitate in dealing with Jesmond again.

I really couldn’t be any happier with the Mercedes, that I purchased. The car really is every bit as good as you described – actually, better. It is absolutely mint. Pretty much everything works perfectly – incredible for a 27 year old car. The drive up from Christchurch to Auckland was a joy. 100kmh the whole way (in cruise control) with the V8 whisper quiet for the entire journey. I’m forever looking for reasons to take it for a spin! And the car constantly draws admiring looks and comments. For a ‘sight unseen’ transaction, where I relied entirely on your word as to the condition of the car, it really couldn’t have gone any better. Your professionalism and pre and post sales service is outstanding. Looking forward to my next purchase from you guys (still very tempted by black the R107!). I’ve joined the Mercedes Owner’s Club and am looking forward to showing it off at the next of their events.

I have had a yearning to purchase a vintage or classic car for a number of years and have read Classic Car magazines and trolled internet auction sites until I came to the Waimak Classic Cars Web site. There was a certain classic car listed that was very close to marque and vintage of my first car I ever owned. It was early 50s English favourite. I contacted Jesmond by email as an initial inquiry and he responded promptly and gave me background of the vehicle in addition to what was described on the web site. Obviously an inspection was vital. With then roading problems between Marlborough and Canterbury a convenient time to visit Waimak was agreed given we decided to include a family visit to CHCH to coincide Jesmond was extremely flexible and agreed to meet us in Rangiora to take us to his display site. It certainly was a pleasure to meet both Jesmond and Gloria and it was clear from the outset we were dealing with very good honest and genuine people. We did not purchase the vehicle of initial choice. Whilst a lovely car heart was not where the head was. It just would not fit in my garages! After inspecting and admiring many fine examples we fell in love with a rare for NZ near finished restored 1947 Rover P2. The purchase including a service plus up to date warrant and registration was completed and Gloria arranged the transport of the vehicle to us here in Blenheim. I could not fault the professionalism coupled with warm friendly attitude of both Jesmond and Gloria and strongly commend them to anyone seeking a purchase and or sale of their classic car. Post purchase communication and advice was excellent.

I have had a very good experience dealing with Jesmond, both buying a 68 Jaguar and selling a 1917 Veteran. They are honest, reliable people and trustworthy operating a very clean and tidy business. I would be happy to do business with them again and would recommend that others do so too.
