This is one of the nicest examples in New Zealand with no expense spared on upkeep. Goes and drives extremely well – solid and stable on the road.
This lavishly equipped 5 seater saloon truly provided prestige motoring in the modern manner at the time. In our opinion, this car is an outstanding performer, whether at high speed on the motorway, or leisurely manoeuvring in town-traffic – the turbine like smoothness of its engine is truly remarkable. The automatic transmission gives it full engine braking at all ratios and moreover, provides for driver control with all its advantages.
A great classic car to own with classic lines and performance, that is sure to continue appreciating in the years to come. A Good Investment.

Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
