Testimonials
The purchase of my vehicle through Jesmond was a breeze. I did something I've never done before & that was to buy without my own personal inspection. Jesmonds photos & descriptions plus getting the car checked by an independent garage convinced me & I was not disappointed. Thank you very much Jesmond for your honesty & going that extra mile, your cars are immaculate.

After looking for a while, and not having any particular marque in mind, we have just taken delivery of an Alfasud Ti; our first non British classic car. Bought site unseen from a specialist / collector dealer in North Canterbury, she's a 2 owner 38000kms car that has been comprehensively restored. First impressions have been good, and the experience of dealing with Jesmond and Gloria was a positive one; they provided lots of information and answered any questions, but didn't put any pressure on us to decide.

Dear Jesmond, Just a note of thanks for the professional process you adopted in the recent swift sale of my classic vehicle. Every thing about your marketing strategy was first rate, as was your pictorial and video presentation which was second to none. Look forward to catching up with you in the future.

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 started dealing with Jesmond several months before finally purchasing from him. Being my first purchase, I was careful and perhaps even pedantic, but Jesmond was patient and gave sage advice. There's a couple of things about him. Firstly he's completely honest - and in this world, that's not common! And secondly, he knows his cars, which gives a buyer absolute confidence. The car was exactly as he said it was. The delivery went ahead without fault and arrived in Auckland from Christchurch within 48 hours! Thank you Jesmond, I appreciate the quality of both your service and the cars you have on offer.
