Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster - 1928
email from JKS Weertasekera
Mr Allen Swift: Born - 1908 - Died 2010
Mr Allen Swift: Born - 1908 - Died 2010
This man owned & drove the same car for 82 YEARS.
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 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 British engineering of a bygone era.
