This person had a great start in life, an early exotic present.
Mr. Allen Swift, 1908 - 2010, owned and drove the same car for 82 years. Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years?
Mr. 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... At the age of 102. He was the oldest living owner of a car that was purchased new. 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 (1,087 per month). 1,070,000 that's miles not kilometers. That's British engineering of a bygone era. Don't think they make them like this anymore.
