Mulliner produced a body like this but probably other coachbuilders did, too. The bumpers don't look quite right so maybe it is a Springfield because an American built body would have bumpers for dealing with other American cars.

English build, Phantom II was not constructed in Springfield, but the LHD New Phantom chassis was still in stock in large numbers. Probably originally supplied to an English owner, but crossed the pond in the thirties. The bumpers are American, and installed to cope with U.S. traffic. The scenery is indeed mock-English.
