McGuinness Classics Inc
Hello there! I'm Roy McGuinness. A warm Irish welcome to our Facebook page 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!
Well 8 years have gone by quickly and we are now off on a new adventure, up to the sunny and warm Kapiti coast. Also into another iconic building; The Old Statue Bargain Barn under the statue of the Virgin Mary on the hill overlooking Paraparaumu.
Number 20 Tongariro St, Paraparaumu. If you are coming from the south, turn right at the lights on State Highway 1, first left, first right and you are there. If you are coming from the north, go straight ahead by the boat shop and take the second on the right. So easy!
Originally built in the early 50’s for Plylite Boats and from the late 60’s was the biggest second hand shop in Australisia.
We will be sharing the showroom with Peter Appleton of Appleton Pianos, a third generation piano business. What a blend, like peaches and cream.
Could be a first in the world. So look forward to your visit.
