It looks like a Rolls-Royce New Phantom of about 1927, coachwork by Hooper?
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

Yes, it's a Rolls-Royce Phantom from 1927, but the coachbuilder is a different one.
Locked for you.

Please unlock. I would just be guessing from here on. Anyone who knows it deserves the point (as does anyone who's diligent enough to check through every coachbuilder active in the 1920s).
