Nigel Neville has a deep fascination with motor cars, especially classic ones, about which he writes: 

"Every curve and engine note seems to carry a story of its own. My Aston Martin DB7 is more than just a car to me; it's the connection to that heritage…feeling the weight of craftsmanship and history in every mile."

He is drawn to the theatre and atmosphere of car auctions, even when not planning to buy. He attends motorsport events, these days in the UK, but he has often been to Le Mans in the past for the energy and sense of something legendary. He takes part in car club tours with like-minded enthusiasts and appreciates the journey as much as the destination.

Nigel is also a member of a samba band which performs at events in and around Cambridge, and occasionally further afield, bringing colour and rhythm wherever they go. He took part in amateur dramatics in the past and still attends local productions.
