        _THIS MAN OWNED AND DROVE____THE __SAME CAR FOR*82* YEARS!!!!_

        *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.*

        *I don't think they make them like this anymore**.*
