Let me introduce you to the single,
lifetime owner of a 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P-1 roadster. He’s Allen Swift,
who was born, raised and died in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Allen’s father presented him with the car
as a graduation gift, in 1928, and Allen drove it continuously until he died,
aged 102, in 2010.
The Rolls-Royce clocked up a mere 1,070,000
miles, still runs with the precision of a Swiss watch, and was in perfect
cosmetic condition when it was donated to a Springfield museum after Allen
passed away.
82 years is some record for reliability,
right? Henry Royce would be proud.
