Tony Denny

He founded AAA Auto, growing it from a single car lot in the Czech Republic into one of Central and Eastern Europe’s largest used-car dealership networks, with 45 locations across five countries and more than 3.5 million vehicles traded.

After returning to Australia in 2015, Tony founded Central Real, later launching Central Real Capital, a private lender specialising in residential, commercial and development finance.

Tony also founded the Gosford Classic Car Museum, which housed more than 400 luxury, vintage, sports and collector vehicles during its time of operation. Created as an immersive automotive sales experience, it quickly became a major Central Coast tourism attraction, welcoming thousands of visitors.

In 2024, the High Court of Australia ruled in favour of Tony’s company, confirming that the museum had been developed as an extensive marketing strategy supporting its automotive retail operations. The decision reflected his willingness to challenge conventional business models and stand behind commercially innovative ideas.

Drawing on his extensive experience across automotive retail, collector vehicles and private lending, Tony established Automotive Invest to provide tailored finance secured against high-value vehicles.
