Hi Jesmond & Gloria ,Thank you both very much for giving us the opportunity of owning the Beautiful Daimler. We will treasure her very much and have named her Demelsa , she is a friend to our other beautiful classic. Thank you for the bottle of wine and the Driver of the Transport co was a inspiring young gentleman. thank you once again.
At Waimak Classic Cars, every vehicle has a story and so do the people behind them. Over the years, customers from across New Zealand and around the world have trusted us to help source, purchase and enjoy classic vehicles with confidence. Here are just some of the experiences shared by past clients.
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful 1974 XJ6 that I have purchased from you. I live north of Auckland and so I did not view the car prior to purchase, but after speaking with Jesmond I did have the confidence to buy the car from the photos only. I’m very happy to say that my confidence was not misplaced and when the car arrived on the transporter this morning I was totally thrilled with the car. I have wanted one of these cars for 50 years and now I have achieved my ambition! Many thanks once again, I would recommend your company and service to anyone.
Hi Gloria, thank you for the lovely bottle of wine you gave us with the car. Murray drove the Jag down to Mosgiel last Saturday and said it drove extremely well. I must say that I am very impressed with the car. It looks even better than the photos show. We went on an outing Sunday afternoon and I drove it for the first time. It went well and is so nice to drive. Both my wife Anne and I love it. I must also say it has been a pleasure doing business with you and Jesmond and I hope to be able to work with you again in the future.
Hi Jesmond, Thank you for all your help with the purchase of my classic car. We had a lovely drive home and am very pleased with my purchase. Its running well and now at home in my shed and thank you for the bottle of wine. Very nice doing business with you.
Buying a classic car is a very special experience for the enthusiast like myself. It often involves a long period of searching for just the right car culminating in some nervousness once the deal is done that it will live up to one’s expectations. Those of us with a long history of owning classics will have probably bought at least one lemon – mine was a Lotus Europa! Hence why the pleasure of dealing with Waimak Classic Cars, Jesmond and Gloria was so refreshing. True enthusiasts with integrity, knowledge and patience. My Jaguar XK8 was part of an extensive collection of high quality classics which were a joy to behold. Thanks for all your help, it was the best experience of buying a classic in over 50 years of my involvement.
A huge thank you to Gloria and Jesmond from Waimak Classic Cars for selling my classic Jaguar. Jesmonds expert advice throughout the entire process from start to finish was absolutely first class. I strongly recommend Waimak Classic Cars for anyone wanting to sell their beloved Classic. No doubt I will be investing in another Classic car in the near future, one things for sure I will be calling Gloria and Jesmond first. I have had the pleasure of viewing Jesmond’s classic collection and I was blown away, every single car has the Wow factor. First class Cars, first class service thank you Jesmond and thank you Gloria.
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
To Whom It May Concern…I am a naive seller, who didn’t know where to start marketing and preparing my vehicle for sale. The team at Waimak Classic Cars have done an amazing job by sorting everything for me from A to Z. They advised, groomed, repaired, collected, advertised and sold my vehicle for just under it’s registered valuation. I am so very grateful for their assistance. I would certainly recommend them to any prospective seller. May others also benefit by entrusting their vehicles into the hands of the professional team at Waimak. Good job. Great result. An Effortless Successful Sale! Thank you.
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.
It is with great pleasure I share my thoughts on the team at Waimak Classic Cars. It is a rare moment in a person’s life when they can honestly say that someone has gone above and beyond what was expected of them. What a journey it has been to take possession of my beloved 1959 Sunbeam Alpine. From the get-go, Jesmond and Gloria have been truly professional, honest, trustworthy and honorable. They have not only delivered a beautiful car that runs like a dream but have renewed my faith in humanity. It was Jesmond who encouraged me to fly down and view the car, spending an entire day answering my multitude of questions as I gradually gathered the information I needed to be confident about the purchase. There was never any hint of pressure, only gentle assurance that Waimak’s ethos and excellent reputation was a complete reflection of the team’s long-held passion for high quality classic cars. In the background, Gloria efficiently set up the transportation logistics-her emails always prompt, positive and clear. Then what an absolute joy to finally receive the car in mint condition, start it up, and take it on the ultimate road trip-530kms across the Southern Alps under cloudless blue skies. I felt like the luckiest man alive! I would recommend Waimak to anyone who is considering a classic car purchase. You will be in the best and safest hands possible.
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.
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.
