Testimonials
Dear Jesmond & Gloria, A very big unexpected surprise on a perfect Wednesday afternoon 22nd May, our lovely Triumph arrived at the front door. She travelled very well and arrived with no damage, just a couple of rub marks which polished out. We were very pleased and excited to meet her, as you can imagine she got a thorough looking over and out for a short drive. We have booked her into our mechanic this coming Monday for a full mechanical service before we take her out on the open road, this is a good way to get to know her and to understand what her future needs will be. Thank you so much for your card, bottle of wine and Classic Driver magazine, the seat belts are still in the box and will probably stay there. You have been a lovely couple to deal with, everything and more has progressed as you said it would, our very best wishes for your future success.

Having bought this car site unseen, it was exactly to the standard described. Jesmond even went as far to see to all any repairs it required prior to me collecting it. He never cut corners. I can only say that it was a very good experience dealing with Jesmond. Very honest and reliable people whom I would recommend to others.

Hi Jesmond & Gloria, The car arrived yesterday. I am very impressed! - She's lovely. She must have been well packed as there is no damage at all, and nothing has gone missing. The guy who dropped the car off on a transporter was really impressed too, I think he wanted it for himself. Jesmond, your description of the car was spot-on, the Velox is just what I had hoped for.In the UK these cars are hard to find, and one this good is a real rarity. I am very pleased, and look forward to many happy years of ownership.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the whole team for the experience of purchasing the charade. From the first minute talking through the car details and history I was filled with complete confidence that I was purchasing from genuinely kind and helpful people who have the best interest of the car and future owners in mind. Sorting through insurance and the shipment to Auckland was an absolute breeze, and the car arrived in 4 working days! The car on arrival was better than my wildest dreams, not a single ding, scratch or issue in sight - I am absolutely blown away by the quality I received! Feeling very blessed, thank you so much for the experience and I will absolutely be using you again for any future classic car purchases. Have a great remainder of the year, you have made mine!

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.
