    Interesting story.
    This person had a great start in life. Mr. Allen Swift: Born - 1908 - Died 2010.
    He owned and 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 ... 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.

    Rolls Royce Phantom I 1928

    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 kilometers.

    That's British engineering of a bygone era.
