On Waitangi Day we Celebrated our Golden Wedding with a High Tea at Waimak Classic Cars. It was a wonderful afternoon. The food was delicious and the table settings beautifully done. Appropriate decorations where also in the room. Management ensured that each of our 40 guests were comfortable including everyone from the 2and a half year old Grandchildren to a 70year old mate of ours with Parkinsons disease. Thank-you Sally and Martin for making our day so special.

Gloria & Jesmond. Many thanks for the wonderful communication, Val & I are more than happy with our car. Meeting you both was a bonus. So rare to find someone in a premium business “WAIMAK CLASSIC CARS” to be so honest and caring. Would definately trade again (10/10).

Hi Gloria & Jesmond, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to you both for taking the time to walk me though the ins and outs of the Triumph. I’m now more knowledgeable thanks to the patience, in-depth knowledge and endless time Jesmond gave me. Going the extra mile made all the difference. All the best to you both.

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.

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.
