It took around 15 minutes to learn the ropes of this magical E-Type Jaguar. We drove to Wiseman’s Ferry with the hood off and reignited our youth.  Robyn.

Newcastle, Hunter Valley & Central Coast – Bill’s Private Classic Car Collection

Welcome to something a little different.

In Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and the Central Coast, every vehicle you see here belongs to just one enthusiast – Bill.

It’s a lifetime passion brought together in one remarkable private collection. Each car has been carefully chosen, maintained and enjoyed by Bill himself – and now you can experience them on a self-drive adventure.

When you collect your car, Bill personally introduces you to it – its story, its character, its quirks – before you turn the key and head off on your own classic motoring journey.

Bill’s Cars – Big, Beautiful American Cruisers

If you love effortless V8 power, armchair comfort and unmistakable road presence, Bill’s collection delivers in style.

  • 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V – “Connie”
    A true boulevard cruiser. Long bonnet, opera windows and smooth V8 performance. The ultimate grand touring machine.
  • 1979 Lincoln Town Car – “Virginia”
    Pure comfort and elegance. Ideal for couples wanting relaxed, unhurried touring through wine country or along the coast.
  • 1978 Lincoln Town Car Coupe – “Midnight”
    Sleek, distinctive and wonderfully smooth. A head-turner wherever it goes.
  • 1987 Lincoln MK V11 Luxury Sports Coupe – “Brumby”
    Most recent model but still with that classic style and look
  • 1984 Buick Electra Park Avenue – “Betty Buick”
    Classic 80s American luxury. Plush, quiet and made for long scenic drives.
