Testimonials
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.

Like most baby boomers I have bought and sold many cars over my lifetime, but none came close to the pleasure of dealing with Gloria and Jesmond. Jesmond insisted I get an independent assessment of the car and any repairs needed would be on him. It turned out that the car was not quite what we thought, but true to his word and without protest or negotiation, he took care of all the repairs, to the extent, that I doubt there was anything left in for them. There was total transparency on what was going on as I was kept in the loop by Gloria. Classics are, by their definition, older cars that may have hidden problems, but dealing with Jesmond and Gloria you can be assured that the process of purchase will be worry free and you will receive the car that you desired.

I recently bought an XJS from Waimak Classic Cars. Bought sight unseen.The process was very smooth and professional.Road transported to Coromandel without a hitch and arrived in A1 condition. Exactly as described - in fact, better than I had expected ! I am looking forward to getting out and about in the car around the Coromandel Peninsula over the coming summer. If you are considering buying a car from Jesmond and Gloria - do so with absolute confidence.

I had been trying to sell my classic car through “Trademe” for months with no success. A couple of people had mentioned Jesmond so in desperation I contacted him. He very promptly arranged to inspect the car and having already done his homework gave me an idea of what he could sell the car for and confirmed it in writing a day later. The “on behalf” deal was written up and I knew what was happening at all times with constant correspondence. The car sold in a couple of weeks and everything was taken care of by Jesmond. I am very happy with the result and felt I could trust him from the moment I met him. He's too trust-worthy to be a car dealer. He's more a car lover who helps others move on from their indulgences.
