They  certainly don't make them like that anymore. This man Owned & Drove the same car for 82 years.

Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years!

"How Long Have You Owned a Car?"

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) 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, thus, 1,712,000 km!! 

That's Best British Engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make them  like that any more.
