History
The Story of McGuinness's Classics Inc.
Hello there! I'm Roy McGuinness. A warm Irish welcome to our web site and thank you for visiting us. Been in Classic Cars for many, many years in Wellington, since the early 70's. Wow! Doesn't seem that long ago. Still love them just as much -- see, touch, smell, listen, feel and enjoy.
Moved about 7 years ago to a delightful old timber building, erected by the US Forces in the late 40's in Gracefield, Lower Hutt. Offices up in the rafters, just like I always wanted. Lots of charm, space and history, easy to find too. Complete with a sprinkler system, alarms and cameras. The complex is called "Gracelands" due to having had a number of film industry related tenants over the years. Sounds good to us!
So, come and visit us in the real and make sure you bring some time with you - make it relaxing and enjoyable. Always an interesting cross section of the unusual to drool and reminisce over. With larger premises we will always need lots of fresh and interesting stock, either to purchase or sell on your behalf. Thinking of selling -- not using your Classic? Give me a call or drop me an email, be delighted to hear from you.
Paul Taylor, that worked with me for a number of years has moved on to different pastures, so working alongside me now is a young man by the name of James Davison. Fully trained in later model European cars but his main passion and knowledge base is around cars from the 50's 60's and 70's. Very handy fellow to have around, so if you are experiencing running hassles with your Classic, give us a call and talk to James.
Our web site has been working really well for us and we are now also linked to Trademe. MTF . Autobuy, Simply Classics, Autotrader and the MG Car Club site. Remember, we are the Classic Car valuer recommended by The INSURANCE and SAVINGS OMBUDSMAN for insurance valuations on Classic Cars in NZ, so get in touch and ensure that your car has agreed value cover and for the right amount. Really appreciate your support and interest over the years and look forward to further contact in the future.
Look forward to seeing you as usual at British Car Day at Trentham in mid-February.
Yours in Classic Motoring,
Roy McGuinness.
