Car dealer Reginald Rix, 67, says he is unsuccessful in a bid to have a historic Rolls-Royce blue plaque removed from gate posts of his Cheshire mansion. The plaque is linked to Sir Henry Royce, the motoring pioneer associated with the property.
According to reporting, Rix bought the listed former home of Sir Henry Royce last year and later sought to remove or alter the plaque displayed at the property’s entrance. The Daily Mail describes the house as in an exclusive Cheshire enclave and notes it is valued at around £3 million. The coverage focuses on Rix’s challenge to the plaque while highlighting the home’s historic, listed status.
The available details from the two excerpts emphasize the same core facts—who Rix is, which property he bought, that the plaque relates to Rolls-Royce founder Sir Henry Royce, and that his application to remove the plaque fails. No other outlets or differing positions are included in the provided materials.
