    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...
     
     Just  thought you would find this of  interest.
