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 all at Waimak Classic Cars, I would like to take this opportunity to thank sincerely for the great service you provided nothing was too much trouble for you and we really appreciated you going out of your way for us, also the Jaguar we purchased is quite remarkable for its age and , is a pleasure to look at and drive , we get so many comments about it. Again many thanks for everything.

Like most baby boomers I have bought and sold many cars over my lifetime, but none came close to the pleasure of dealing with Gloria and Jesmond. Jesmond insisted  I get an independent assessment of the car and any repairs needed would be on him. It turned out that the car was not quite what we thought, but true to his word and without protest or negotiation, he took care of all the repairs, to the extent, that I doubt there was anything left in for them. There was total transparency on what was going on as I was kept in the loop by Gloria. Classics are, by their definition, older cars that may have hidden problems, but dealing with Jesmond and Gloria you can be assured that the process of purchase will be worry free and you will receive the car that you desired.

Thank you Gloria and Jesmond!!  I bought a car from you guys online without viewing it in person. But talking to Jesmond on the phone it was obvious he was a genuine classic car enthusiast. I always wanted a DS since I was a boy.  Thirty years later finally own one. Absolutely stoked with the car !! Love learning all of it’s quirks !! Shipping up to Auckland and insurance were provided by Waimak classic cars and car arrived in great condition considering wild weather at the time. Great communication and a hassle free purchase. Once again thank you very much !!

Hi Gloria, I have arrived home back in Auckland after an uneventful, but very enjoyable drive up. The car and I are slowly learning about how each other works etc. Thank you and Jesmond very much for the assistance and advice you gave me when we met. It was very much appreciated and you made feel comfortable with the whole process etc.

Hello, our car arrived in Napier. Bad weather..other commitments etc etc BUT today all the ducks were in a row. Finally we have been out for a drive…it was fabulous just love driving it it’s a great one to alternate with the MGA…but only when the sun shines. The roofs off it’s polished to perfection and I can only say many thanks to being 100 percent accurate in your description of the car…always a little unnerving when buying site unseen. This is my third time with you guys and you have always been honest. Many thanks once again..it will be looked after as always.

Dear Jesmond and Gloria, Thank-you so much for the purchase of my Classic Car and for organising the shipping of it to Australia. It was a pleasure visiting your amazing museum and dealing with both of you. Also, the shipping process was managed excellently. I also want to say thank-you for the gift of the drawing of my car which is now proudly hanging in my office. Best of luck for the future and hope to see you both in Australia sometime.

If you’re looking for a classic car then Waimak Classic Cars should be high on your list. Gloria and Jesmond have a large selection of quality classic cars and are very accommodating and easy to deal with. I am very happy with my TR6.

Our group had a wonderful time, they were all very delighted with the high tea experience and seeing the museum.
I think lots of people who “hesitated” will be thinking they should have joined in for the fun outing.  
Thank you for hosting, food was just perfect and lovely serving ware.

I recently bought an MGA from Waimak Classic cars and the whole experience from my first visit to view the car and then the process of purchasing it was made easy by Jesmond and Gloria. I totally recommend dealing with Waimak Classic Cars. 10 out of 10.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the whole team for the experience of purchasing the charade. From the first minute talking through the car details and history I was filled with complete confidence that I was purchasing from genuinely kind and helpful people who have the best interest of the car and future owners in mind. Sorting through insurance and the shipment to Auckland was an absolute breeze, and the car arrived in 4 working days! The car on arrival was better than my wildest dreams, not a single ding, scratch or issue in sight – I am absolutely blown away by the quality I received! Feeling very blessed, thank you so much for the experience and I will absolutely be using you again for any future classic car purchases. Have a great remainder of the year, you have made mine!

Gloria and team…Thank you!…From my parents driveway in Rangiora New Zealand to the Lincolnshire Wolds in England……. your care and attention has been so supportive and more than just a job. You have helped transport a car and memories. Without your help at Waimak Classic Cars, this journey for the 1974 MGB would have been more difficult, or still just a dream. Thank you for making this dream come true. Can not thank you enough.
