So it's a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost sketch by Gill & Son. Do you need something else to call it solved ? You asked for "make, model & coachbuilder" in the first post.

No, not Gill & Son. No idea how the "yes" response happened! I hadn't even seen your question yet. :o :huh:

No. To me at least, it's a more well-known and prolific coachbuilder than your last several guesses.

I was curious if this body was ever realized by Rippon, but a cursory search turned up nothing. Interestingly, chassis #1979 (below), originally bodied by Barker, was rebodied in 1992 as a "Tourer by Rippon" and somewhat resembles this drawing. I don't know if the coachwork was based on an existing Rippon-bodied Ghost, however.
