About
Housed in what once was a royal mint, the Fox Classic Car Collection stands as a testament to some of the rarest and most prestigious vehicles in the world. Over the span of fifty years, Lindsay Fox, founder of Linfox, has curated this awe-inspiring collection of automotive excellence.
Opened in 1997, the collection showcases almost a century in automotive technology and design with models from Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Volkswagen, Ford, Lexus, Nissan and MG made between 1923 and 2023 found at the museum.
Notable previous owners of some vehicles include Ringo Star, Bing Crosby and Bob Jane to name a few.
Forging an indelible connection between passion, philanthropy, and sheer delight all vehicles on display have been donated to a trust by Lindsay Fox and the Fox family to assist various charities to raise funds, while allowing visitors to enjoy and appreciate the vehicles.
Pulling from over 250 rare and exotic vehicles, this ever changing collection is a must visit for any car enthusiast, historian and lover of all things spectacular.
Our collection
The Fox Classic Car Collection showcases over 50 of the world's most rare and prestigious vehicles providing an insight into the motoring history of post WWII and the development of vehicles in line with how function and speed impacts on style and design. The world-class craftsmanship exhibited in these vehicles is rarely practiced today and contrasts with the technologies now used in our digital age.
The vehicles offer a glimpse at the lifestyles of the rich and famous, attention to detail in the building process, one off prototypes and the specifications of some of the fastest high-performance vehicles. It is housed in the historic Queen's Warehouse offering up some of our early Melbourne history.
