Fox Classic Car Collection

The Fox Classic Car Collection is the private automotive collection of Lindsay Fox, who bought a single truck in 1956 and built Linfox into the largest privately owned logistics company in the Asia Pacific. Opened to the public in 1997, it fills the heritage Queens Warehouse on Collins Street in Melbourne's Docklands, a building that began as a colonial customs store and printed Australia's first postage stamps and banknotes between 1908 and 1924.

The cars span 1923 to 2024, grouped into classics, sports cars, supercars and race cars, with Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce and Bentley the headline marques. Some carry famous names in the logbook, including cars once owned by Ringo Starr and Bing Crosby. Recent visitors have seen a Ferrari F40 and F50, a 2019 Porsche 935 (one of 77 built) and the Mercedes-AMG ONE; the display changes regularly, so no two visits are quite alike.

Volunteer run with proceeds supporting charitable causes, it is a short walk from Southern Cross Station, but the limited hours reward planning.

• A tightly curated, high-value display drawn from Lindsay Fox's personal holdings, changed regularly: expect quality and rarity over quantity.
• Marque depth in Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce and Bentley, spanning 1923 to 2024.
• Recent highlights have included a Ferrari F40 and F50, a 2019 Porsche 935 (one of 77) and the Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar.
• Cars with celebrity provenance, including former Ringo Starr and Bing Crosby vehicles.
• The heritage Queens Warehouse itself: colonial customs store, then Australia's first stamp and banknote printing works.
• Knowledgeable volunteers happy to talk through the cars; close-up viewing and easy photography.
• Ticket proceeds support charitable fundraising.
• The venue doubles as an event space, so sections can occasionally be closed for private functions.

• Open Thursday and Saturday 10am to 2pm, plus select Fridays only; check the official site before a Friday visit.
• Tickets $16.50 adult, $9.50 concession, $8 child (6 to 15), $39.50 family (2 adults, 2 children); under 5 and Companion Card holders free. Book via Humanitix or pay at the door.
• The display rotates from the family's wider holdings, so a specific car may not be out on your visit.
• The venue hosts private events; displays may vary or sections may be inaccessible on event days.
• Short walk from Southern Cross Station and Docklands trams; simplest by public transport.
