Waimak Classic Cars At Waimak Classic Cars, we’re passionate about British, European and American Classic's. Our contacts extend both nationally and internationally.

We collect, preserve and support the classic car community through events, sponsorships, and entertainment. Waimak Classic Cars was established in Canterbury, New Zealand with the aim to preserve classic and vintage vehicles. Our key interest is to ensure that these are sold to good homes for a respectable value. We believe classic cars should be considered an alternative investment to stocks and property – tangible assets you can see, admire and enjoy – assets you have control over.

Few motor cars capture the elegance, craftsmanship and unmistakable character of pre-war American motoring quite like the 1939 Buick Series 40 Eight. With its sweeping front guards, imposing chrome grille, beautifully sculpted bodywork and generous proportions, this magnificent Buick represents an era when style, comfort and road presence were every bit as important as performance. Finished in a rich burgundy, complemented by gleaming chrome appointments and distinctive whitewall tyres, it is a wonderful reminder of a time when automobiles were designed to make a statement.

Here is a wonderful opportunity to acquire an increasingly rare example of Alfa Romeo's much-loved Alfasud 1500 Ti, a spirited little Italian sporting classic that has become considerably harder to find, particularly in sound, presentable condition. Renowned for its delightful boxer engine, superb handling and engaging driving characteristics, the Alfasud Ti remains one of those cars that reminds us just how much fun motoring used to be.

FEW CARS capture the spirit of the 1970s quite like the Ford Capri. Marketed as the car you always promised yourself, the Capri brought sporty styling, rear-wheel-drive performance and a touch of European glamour within reach of the everyday motorist...and the 3000E is a rare beast

BUILT DURING AN ERA when children’s toys were made to last, these charming miniature vehicles often featured pressed-steel bodies, simple mechanical steering, pedal-powered drivetrains and styling inspired by the legendary Willys Jeep. A classic Jeep with no petrol bills, no WOF worries.

WITH JUST 6457 EXAMPLES produced between 1994 and 1997, the X300 XJR was manufactured in comparatively limited numbers. Its combination of traditional styling, supercharged performance and relatively low production makes it an increasingly interesting proposition for collectors and Jaguar enthusiasts.

FAREWELL TO A TRUE JAGUAR GENTLEMAN - RAY LARSEN...It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Ray Larsen this morning at the age of 89. Ray was a personal friend of mine for many years, a mentor, and a man whose knowledge and passion for Jaguar motorcars were truly extraordinary.

Affectionately known as “Mr Jaguar” in New Zealand, Ray contributed more to the Jaguar marque than perhaps most people will ever realise. Much of what he did went unrecognised, yet he never sought recognition. His dedication, generosity with his knowledge, and above all, his humility were qualities I greatly admired and something we could all aspire to.

From his early career in Invercargill, through Queenstown, and eventually Canterbury, Ray left a lasting impression on the Jaguar fraternity and on the many people fortunate enough to have known him.

New Zealand has lost a remarkable Jaguar enthusiast, and we have lost a dear friend and mentor. His knowledge, friendship and quiet contribution to the marque will not be forgotten.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Ray's family and loved ones at this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Ray. Thank you for the friendship, the wisdom and everything you gave to the Jaguar world.
