Rolls Royce?

I heard that a Rolls Royce engine is kept outside for six months. If this is true, why would this be?|||Absolutely untrue. They are shipped from the factory in Germany to England and installed in the cars in Goodwood. They are never left outside.|||To test how the engine reacts with the climate perhaps|||To test it.|||This makes no sense for a car engine; engines live in fairly well-sealed engine bays.





Rolls-Royce does also make airplane engines, and I could see environmental exposure testing being important in that industry.
