The couple was travelling along with New England Highway through Kingswood on the way to Queensland in a Mitsubishi Pajero when smoke started coming from under the bonnet at roughly 7am.
They pulled over to the side of the road - near the Whitehouse Lane and Spains Lane intersection - before the front of the car caught on fire.

Other cars pulled over and took to the blaze with fire extinguishers.
However, the fire was too far gone and firefighters were needed to attend the blaze.
The Rural Fire Service attended the scene and put the fire out but the engine had already been destroyed.
The fire did not spread to any of the surrounding area and no one was injured.
