Chase@Adams Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 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 kilometres!! That's Best British engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make them like that any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
