Hi Jesmond & Gloria, Confirming my email of earlier today the Jag arrived early this morning understandably extremely dirty after weathering the worst storm to hit the country so far this year while being freighted, but has washed up beautifully and we look forward to taking it for a spin or two - or three - over the next couple of days before the next storm hits the country. We have nothing but praise for the professional way in which you both dealt with us - right from when we turned up in ChCh to take a look at the Jag - storing it for a few weeks for us and arranging the freighting of it to Palmerston North. The whole process was totally flawless and after having purchased a vintage/classic car from you cannot imagine buying an older car any other way than through Waimak Classic Cars. It has been a real pleasure dealing with both of you and thanks very much for the bottle of Moscato Rose.

From our dealings by email and phone both Jesmond and Gloria's service was 100%. We found both Jesmond and Gloria to be outstanding people with a great passion for the preservation of classic cars in New Zealand. Thank you Gloria for collecting us from the airport so early in the morning and taking us to meet our new vehicle. It was also a wonderful chance to see your amazing / splendid collection of beautiful vehicles. Jesmond and Gloria never ever lose your love and passion for classic vehicles and the preservation of Kiwi classic vehicles. Thank you both once again for your amazing service.

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.

Jesmond... wow wow wow.... I'm just blown away with the Morris. I cannot thank you enough. My sincere appreciation and gratitude. thank you seems such a very small thing to say. God bless you.

Over the last 30 years I have had many exotic cars, but I have only recently become interested in classic cars. This interest led me to Waimak Classic Cars website and subsequent visit to Jesmond and Gloria's premises in Rangiora. Through their honest interest in providing only quality cars at a fair margin, I quickly gained faith and ended up buying three vehicles from them, including the 1934 Bugatti featured on their website. I am a discerning buyer and my confidence that Jesmond and Gloria were fair traders made the experience uniquely enjoyable. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
