Testimonials
I have now received my XK8. The car is just as you described it - in excellent condition.This is the second car I have purchased from you - sight unseen. I am very happy . The quality of both cars I have purchased to date confirms my belief that you provide a first class service to your clients. We have had the opportunity to have the top down in this lovely spell of weather and a cruise around the Coromandel Peninsula - the car drives very well.Once again - thank you .

Hi Jesmond, I don't know if I told you when we were corresponding that I am member of the South Canterbury Vintage Car Club. Last Saturday the club held one of its more important rallies of the year called the Mid Island Rally. I went in the Austin A55 and was one of about 68 vehicles that went on the run. It had a good showing of vehicles some old model Ts right through the years, the latest one being a 1964 mini. You name the brand of vehicle and it was there. Mine was the only Austin. We had good weather and I understand it was about 180 miles start to finish. It extended from Timaru through to Geraldine and then into a private forest. That was a bit challenging climbing up to the hilltops on roads only made for logging trucks. I was pleased to get back onto tarseal once we were on our way home. As usual I didn't get anywhere in the rally, thats not my luck. Prior to starting off from the Clubrooms they had a Concours display . About a dozen or perhaps eighteen vehicles went in it. I decided to put the A55 in the display. I don't know when the judging took place and we heard nothing until after the placegetters in the actual rally were announced. There was a table of Cups and Certificates being handed out . All went until only one big cup remained. I thought it won't be me because Ive never won one yet and next thing my name came up. I won the 2014 Concours Cup in my class which was (Post War Vintage) Every comment about the A55 on that day was good and she's going well. So there you have it Jesmond,I don't know if any other vehicles you've had have won Concours but now you know at least one has.

We wanted to sell our Vintage Car and were directed to Jesmond & Gloria of Waimak Classic Cars. The association was a pleasant experience as Jesmond was a dependable, helpful and considerate person to deal with. And so too was Gloria. Richard and I are happy to recommend the services of Jesmond at Waimak Classic Cars.
