Just Amazing!
Rolls Royce Phanton I 1928
THIS MAN OWNED AND DROVETHESAME CAR FOR82YEARS!!!!
Mr. Allen Swift: Born - 1908 - Died 2010This 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.
I don't think they make them like this anymore.
