It is a Rolls-Royce but not a Phantom II, not by Barker and not from 1930

It looks smaller than Phantom, is it a Twenty/Twentyfive?

You're on the right path but it's not a 20/25......

That bodywork looks wrong for the year, but I'll try 25/30 hp
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I've found one very similar - 25/30 by James Young, 1936?

Not by Freestone & Webb.
It's by a lesser known firm

Not by Gurney-Nutting, H.J. Mulliner or Mann Egerton......

A more obscure coachbuilder is the answer
