A very good representation of an E Type (I think that the body shape is especially accurate), but bear in mind that it is originally a 1960s kit so some of the detailing is a bit crude for 1:8 (Heller's 1:8 Citroen Traction Avant is so much more detailed). Also the rear bulkhead (immediately in front of the rear subframe) is tragic and the 'inner wing' panelling that is attached to the underside of the bonnet is missing. Both souldn't be too tricky to rectify though.

Imho it would be a very good basis for adding lots of detail, as the bonnet & doors already open, and it has windup windows; also I can't imagine it would be that difficult to get the rear hatch to open.

I will finish mine one day!
