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....

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.
