Yep - England it is! Stoke-on-Trent, to be precise - the town that's famous for its potteries. The names Royal Doulton, Spode, Wedgwood, Minton etc. are not exactly unknown in the history of ceramics, though I somehow doubt that the spinner on that prop. (does it windmill?) was turned on a potter's wheel. Pity I don't know anything about the car, but it doesn't surprise me - plenty of people in this little island do daft things like this, "just for a laugh".
