We recently bought our second classic car from Waimak Classic Cars. Our treasured Alfa went back to North Canterbury, to be replaced by an MG. They have both been bought sight unseen, and shipped up to Wellington. Once again, we enjoyed our dealings with Gloria & Jesmond. The MG is in lovely condition and we are looking forward to lots of pleasure from our ‘new' car!

I started dealing with Jesmond several months before finally purchasing from him. Being my first purchase, I was careful and perhaps even pedantic, but Jesmond was patient and gave sage advice. There's a couple of things about him. Firstly he's completely honest - and in this world, that's not common! And secondly, he knows his cars, which gives a buyer absolute confidence. The car was exactly as he said it was. The delivery went ahead without fault and arrived in Auckland from Christchurch within 48 hours! Thank you Jesmond, I appreciate the quality of both your service and the cars you have on offer.

We recently purchased a Classic Car from Waimakclassiccars and cannot thank them enough for their superb level of service. The car we chose, needed a little bit of extra work done, by mutual agreement, and Jesmond organised for that to be done and the car presented to us in prisitine condition. The communication from Jesmond and Gloria is prompt, personal and informative. Put simply, Jesmond and Gloria are a pleasure to do business with. We thoroughly recommend Waimakclassiccars.

Having recently made my second purchase from Jesmond, I would just like to endorse the comments I made when I making my first purchase , in that once again I have not been disappointed or disadvantaged in not having physically seen the vehicle prior to its delivery in Auckland , finding the description regarding condition both visually and mechanically to have been spot on. As in the first transaction all matters of payment and delivery were professionally carried out, I can recommend Jesmond and Waimak Classic Cars to anyone seeking a quality , reliable , Classic, Vintage or Veteran vehicle .

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.
