Rolls-Royce & Bentley Driver

BLOWN AWAY

Michael Campbell is a self-confessed petrol head. His first car as a 17-year-old was a 1982 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint Veloce 1.5, which used to ‘spontaneously break down’. His busy career in IT was accompanied by numerous breadand-butter cars interspersed with some supercars such as a Ferrari F355 GTS, Aston Martin Vanquish S and Honda 3.2 NSX, all manual!

His career took a turn in 2010 when he joined forces with his wife to help his specialist change management training company, CMC Partnership Global, grow internationally. They eventually sold it in 2022. For his 40th birthday his wife gifted him an Aston Martin DB9 Volante, and over the time since he has added to his selection of fun weekend cars with both a 1971 Porsche 911T and a 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo.

The success they achieved also enabled Michael to turn his attention to Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars, and in September 2020 he purchased sight-unseen a 1990 Bentley Turbo R in the UK, via the internet, from Singapore. That story will be told separately in a forthcoming issue of , but safe to sayand the stunning 2002-manufactured Bentley Azure Mulliner featured here.
