Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years?
Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , Massachusetts ) 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 in 2010....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!
Rolls Royce Phantom 1 - 1928
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 British engineering of a bygone era.
I don't think they even make them like this anymore..
