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 170,000 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 2000 miles per
year...!
You may not be a Special Car Buff, but this is just beautiful, and some
record. Thought you'd enjoy it.
