Testimonials
Gloria and team...Thank you!...From my parents driveway in Rangiora New Zealand to the Lincolnshire Wolds in England....... your care and attention has been so supportive and more than just a job. You have helped transport a car and memories. Without your help at Waimak Classic Cars, this journey for the 1974 MGB would have been more difficult, or still just a dream. Thank you for making this dream come true. Can not thank you enough.

Hi Gloria & Jesmond, i couldn't wait for next week to get the car so on a whim i flew down and picked the car up from Wellington, i must say apart from the flight lol it was the most enjoyable day i have had in a long while, and on my way home i had heaps of beeps, toots and thumbs up from other travellers and well wishers who were obviously admiring the car. The car is everything you and J described it as and much much more, my wife who isnt a huge car fan absolutely loves it as well.............so once again many thanks for you help and service.

Hi Gloria, I have arrived home back in Auckland after an uneventful, but very enjoyable drive up. The car and I are slowly learning about how each other works etc. Thank you and Jesmond very much for the assistance and advice you gave me when we met. It was very much appreciated and you made feel comfortable with the whole process etc.

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.
