I am not sure if the UK Gov post content squashes the rumour?

The rumour is that I can't drive my Spanish owned, registered and plated car in Spain using my UK driving licence. That I have to change my UK licence to a Spanish licence if I want to drive my Spanish owned car in Spain.

I am resident in the UK

I have been driving in Spain since 2015 on my UK licence with no problems. There are rules, but why would you change your licence if you are a UK resident?
