I don't see the 60th anniversary of his birth having anything to do with the move to Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is still a part of BMW.
I also assume that the 17 years at Rolls-Royce was with the other entities known as Rolls-Royce (Rolls-Royce Limited, Rolls-Royce Motors, or Rolls-Royce plc). VW bought Rolls-Royce Motors and Bentley from Vickers in 1998. And a dispute between the rights for the name "Rolls-Royce" led them to sell BMW the name. Everything else "Rolls-Royce" became part of Bentley in VW.
