Make is easy of course but I also need to know the model, type of body, year and the coachbuilder for a point.

I have it as a 1928 Rolls-Royce 20 hp Doctor's Coupe but with a different coachbuilder.
I'll LOCK it for you to have another guess......

According to my source, a Rolls-Royce dealer's ad, it is a 1928 RR 20 hp Doctor's Coupe but not by Caffyns.
The coachbuilder I have comes from the northern half of the UK....

One of those car that, even if you have the full info, there is very little info available about the car online.

What makes it a "Doctor's coupe"?  I understood that a "Doctor's coupe" was a fixed head not a drophead.

I'm not being picky - just curious.

1. Croall actually owned H.J.Mulliner & Co.Ltd. from before the the First World War until it was sold to Rolls-Royce in 1960. They did build bodies for each other if deemed neccessary.
2. This is a Drop Head Coupé. Doctor's Coupé was a term used very loosely. Of course few doctors would earn enough money to have a Rolls-Royce with this body, and then would be need to use it to do visits to patients.
