Jamie what you have sketched is essentially an MG P Type Midget with Airline Coupe coachwork, a good choice of template to model your special on.
The Airline coupe works well, it's proportions are good, my suggestion is to model yours quite closely on the body of the Airline to get the proportions right, it's all about aesthetics and flow of line. Getting such a body on a little car wrong will make it dumpy and bulbous. A wooden body buck and regular coverings in brown paper to test the lines and curves will see you right here. Tha sunshine roof in an Airline is a fabulous piece of kit.
I rather like the P Type body where the drivers feet are visible when the long bonnet is lifted, makes fixing stuff easier at the expense of getting fumes into the cabin....hmmm
An exciting project which I'm sure we will all watch eagerly
Aye
