    Another British Car award! 







































Man Owned & Drove Same Car for 82 YEARS.   
Can you imagine having the same car for 82 years!?. 
I guess it was no longer under warranty. 

"How Long Have You Owned a Car?" 

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly 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 from new.  













































Just thought you'd like to see it. 

He donated it 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)... 










What a beautiful car!
