Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster



Mr. Allen Swift with his 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster


DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . Mr. Allen Swift of Springfield, Massachusetts received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new as a graduation gift in 1928? Swift drove up the car until his death at the age of 102. He was also the oldest living owner of a car. He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. The car has 170,000 miles on it, and still runs like a Swiss watch - dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition after 82 years - that is approximately 2,000 miles per year.
