First thought - Hooper, but I don't think it is. Wheels suggest the chassis is older than the body - Phantom III rather than V?

Right on all scores!
It's not by Hooper, the body is newer than the chassis, and it is a Phantom III.
I'll lock it for you now for 24 hours since you've got so far.

Chassis 3DL98 from 1938, originally bodied as a limousine by Hooper; rebodied by Carrosserie Worblaufen in 1955. Body since removed (and put up for sale on eBay).

Yes, that's the car!
At least the body has survived then; that's something.
