Did you know one man paints all of Rolls-Royce's pinstripes by hand?
Henry Royce spent two decades creating all manner of mechanical and electrical inventions before deciding to focus his energy on the automobile in 1904. The English engineer was convinced he could build far finer cars than those being built on the other side of the Channel in France, and was able to persuade his fellow countryman Charles Rolls he could do so.

Rolls-Royce was equally proficient in manufacturing prolific aviation engines, including the 27-liter Spitfire Merlin V-12, created in 1933. This engine generated such powerful thrust from the exhaust that when engineers simply angled the exhaust outlet backward, the Spitfire gained 10 mph. Rolls-Royce’s automobile and airplane divisions were spun off from one other in the early 1970s and now have separate owners.
