A MAN  OWNED & DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82  YEARS


They  certainly don't make them like that anymore.

This man owned  & drove the same car for 82 Years.

Can you imagine even  having the same car for 82 years!

"How Long Have You Owned  a Car?"

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster from his father, brand new  - as a graduation gift in 1928.

He drove it up until his  death last year.....at the age of 102.

He was the oldest  living owner of a car that was purchased new.

Just thought  you'd like to see it.

It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death.

It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still  runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in  perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years). That's approximately  13,048 miles per year (1087 per  month)...


1,070,000  that's miles - not kilometers!!

That's Best British engineering of a bygone era.
