Not a bad shot but you haven't hit the bullseye yet!
However, since it is indeed a Daimler 104 (but not by Hooper) I'll lock it for you to have another shot.

Yes, a Daimler 104 Cabriolet by Beutler it is.
From when, to secure that point?
Locked for you; in the meantime here's the front view:

1956.

Nice puzzle.  An interesting-looking car, with not a lot of online images available.

Is the rear section of the top fixed in place?  It looks like the section over the driver is removable.

That's it, yes.
In the front view it does look like there is a roof panel which has been taken out, but I would say it's probably a two-stage cabriolet and it can either be open only at the front or fully open.  But as you say there are few images online and I couldn't say with any certainty.

Here's the car at a different stage of its life, seen as a fully open cabriolet:
