Testimonials
We brought a Vauxhall off Jesmond a few weeks ago. We never sighted the vehicle owing to us living in the north island. We had to rely on Jesmond's description and honesty.After we brought it, it arrived at our house in Tauranga a few days later in the condition described. Since then we have had it at several club runs and a trip to Auckland. It gets a lot of admiration wherever it goes and is very reliable and a pleasure to drive. Thank you for the gift that was in the car.

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 found dealing with Jesmond easy and straightforward . The vehicle was true to description and presented in immaculate condition, as all his cars appear to be. Jesmond was extremely helpful and made sure that the car was licensed and warranted and serviced ready for use without any worries on my part. I can thoroughly recommend Jesmond to anyone looking for a good classic car.

When I was looking for a classic car recently, Jesmond was very helpful and attentive, providing me with options that were exactly what I was looking for. I had never met him or been in his showroom but he impressed me with his knowledge and experience in the industry. Jesmond answered all my questions with patience, going above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with my purchase. Not everyone would buy a car sight unseen from the internet, but I did and it worked out really well. I would definately buy from him again in the future.

Thankyou Jesmond for the great deal you did for us. We are very happy with the Mercedes as you said we would be. It was great to meet you and your family and be able to talk with you about your experience and knowledge of the vehicle. It was a pleasure dealing with you and hope to have further dealings in the future.
