Finally calling this done. Certainly put more that a few hours into it but nonetheless overall, pretty happy with the end result alongside learning a heck of alot as well. Anyways I'm going to further explore this particular illustrative method as too whether other subject matter I've in mind can also be rendered realistically. 
Cheers.

Hi There:
Continuing blocking-out the car, also forgot to mention after re-reading my OP, that I actually had been working from a higher res'd cropped reference for a number of days, prior too initially posting this WIP, only linking the low resolution image as a kind of visual shot for topic context/description, anyhow my bad : )

Ok, I think I've made an honest attempt re-editing problems highlighted previously. Basically by tweaking fx (blur, glow, shadow) values, better layer management and paying more attention to detail, through spending whatever spare time beginning to build an overall familiarity utilisng these new drawing techniques while importantly during the process, having a ball, doing so.
Cheers.

Completely new too drawing with curves which after stumbling upon these examples prompted an interest in the workflow, anyways for now just following along with Isabel Aracama's Udemy AD tute and pretty much enjoying the process thus far.
Cheers.
