My 74 B never ran like a Swiss watch, is dead silent only when
it is not running (unfortunately becoming more frequent recently) and is not
cosmetically perfect. So I guess, I’m not even in the same time zone let
alone the same ball park.

Anyone
getting close?
How long have
you owned a car ???
Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928
Rolls-Royce Picadilly 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!!! iv>
He was
the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see
it.He
donated it to a Springfield museum after his death.
It has
170,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any
speed andis in
perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years) ...That's
approximately 2000 miles per year...
