Testimonials
Once again a pleasure to deal with two professionals. My little piece of ‘Nostalgia ‘ arrived safe and sound into Napier today. A wash and a polish and it looks just like the photos….beautiful ! A quick call to Jesmond and I now have a handle on how to operate her. A short…if steep drive from Ahuriri up to Milton Terrace and she is sitting in the garage alongside the MGA. Should be a lot of fun come Art Deco season….I may even get in the parade with the other 500 classics. Many thanks for the wine & card and of course for your accurate description of the car….always good when your buying sight unseen. Last time I had this car I was sixteen and a half…had to wait six months before i could go on the road, im now 70 ! Take care till next time you have something that takes my eye.

I was delighted to find Waimak Classic Cars’ website and to have dealings with Jesmond and Gloria. From my first telephone contact with them to driving away with a perfect classic car they went above and beyond in ensuring that I found the car of my dreams. The time and care they spent with me was exceptional, and I recommend them very highly.

Dear Gloria and Jesmond, Thank you for a most enjoyable experience while purchasing the Velox. This model is very rare, my research shows there are only four 1950 cars at this time that are registered in the UK . What a great surprise when it was delivered on the transporter for it looked magnificent, my neighbour next door came running out to admire it together with the transporter driver. The shipping went without a hitch, as you recommended Natasha to handle the red tape at Southampton, she managed to establish historical ruling with HMRC which saved me a considerable amount of money in import taxes. We would recommend you to anybody looking to buy a vintage or indeed any car from yourselves, whether buying unseen as myself or otherwise. We have christened the car with your name Gloria, to remind us how lucky we are that we found your very professional website and your friendly advise. We look forward to meeting you both in Napier for the Art Deco Weekend Classic Car Raleigh during February. Best wishes Leslie and Alison.

I've bought 2 cars off Jesmond and Gloria at Waimak Classic Cars and both vehicles and my customer experience exceeded expectations. The cars were both as promised and the transactions were as smooth as could be possibly hoped for. Exceptional customer service is one of the hallmarks of your operation. Both purchases were done remotely - sight unseen, the first an outright purchase, the second a trade, but I was totally confident throughout the process given the pictorial overviews on the website and your obvious honesty and integrity and willingness to facilitate any independent mechanical/body inspections and in turn correct any faults found. I was not let down on either occasion and would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from you in similar regard. It was great to meet Jesmond and Gloria on a holiday down south and your hospitality in showing us around you classic car storage facility was much appreciated. I keenly look forward to catching up again sometime. Thanks again

I still can not believe that I've changed these cars basically on the computer without leaving home. It was just by chance I saw your website and things went well from there. Sometime in the future I would like to come up with a mate and meet you in person. Also sight the fleet of vehicles you have.Thank you Jesmond
