HE OWNED AND DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82 YEARS...
They certainly don't make them like that anymore...
This man owned and drove the same car for 82 YEARS.
Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years!
Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster - brand new - from his father 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.
It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death.
It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, is dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition (after 82 years). That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month)...
Now feast your eyes on this...
What a beauty!
1,070,000 - that's miles, not kilometers!
That's British engineering of a bygone era.
I don't think they make them like that anymore...!
