There was a great deal of interest in the development of self-propelled vehicles during the twilight years of the 19th century and the dawning decade of the 20th century.
In some instances, these were brothers who had banded together, and with foresight were keen to develop internal combustion powered vehicles - Americans, the Graham brothers were but one of these trailblazers
Neville is fervent about the heritage and restoration of trucks from several eras.
So how Neville became interested in the Graham marque?
"I'd bought an early American Paige car, and it was from that, along with my interest in trucks, that lead me to the connection with Graham trucks," he said.
"I found one of these trucks via the Graham Owner's Club International website.
"I am a member these days and have travelled to the U.S. attending their rallies.
"A couple of years ago we had three of the American members cross the Pacific to attend a week-long rally, that we held for our car and truck members in Australia."

The two trucks are both 1927 models with a three-quarter-ton payload rating, built on a 116-inch (2946mm) wheelbase.
They are powered by the Dodge, paradoxically named 'Fast Four' side-valve engine, the capacity being 221cu.in (3.6litres), rated at 35hp (26kW) with a single barrel up-draft carburettor and three-speed non-synchromesh transmission.
They are rear-wheel differential driven, with two-wheel foundation rear drum brakes.
The black truck has an external band compression type brake application.
It appears the red truck is a later build with conventional internal brakes shoes.
Both systems are mechanically actuated.
Neville said he bought the black truck from the US and that it was bought new in 1927 by the Haskell family of California, and until he purchased it in 2011 the truck had remained in the same family for four generations.
"Gregg Haskell the grandson of the first owner had just finished restoring the truck when he was killed in a motorcycle accident," Neville said.
"He had two sons and neither of them were remotely interested in, or emotionally attached to the truck, they just wanted to sell it."
They sent Neville additional photographs along with a comprehensive appraisal report from an independent professional company - a deal was then struck over the telephone across the Pacific.
The red truck came from an advertisement in Just Trucks magazine in early 2004.
It was stowed in a shed on a farm at Johns River in northern NSW, supposedly fully restored by the family patriarch who had passed away sometime before.
The family was selling the farm and divesting themselves of all surplus to requirement vehicles and equipment.
When Neville went to collect the truck and remove it from its resting place in a shed, he found that the doorway was too low for the truck to fit under.
"Fortunately, the shed floor was not concreted, so the easiest way to get it out was to dig two furrows for the wheels to run in - it then fitted under the doorway," he said.
He found after it had been in his possession for some time, that the engine was not in very good condition for one that had been 'reconditioned'.
So, the engine was stripped down and the job was done, as it should have been originally.
Both trucks have appeared at various shows, usually transported on the back of a semi-trailer, as they are both too slow to drive any distance, having a top speed of only 25mph (40km/h).
