I forgot to add Morgans-every generation.

Wuh?? Am I the only weirdo that wants these two seminal sports cars?? :o

I like Morgans...esp. the recent models like the incredible Aero Max and Aero Supersports...would love to see those in 1:24th

Morgans! I knew I was forgetting something! I love Morgans.

Yes, I'd love to see one or two more of them in 1/24-25.

Some other really nice picks I'm seeing.

A few others I've thought of.

Jaguar SS (the pre-war car that started it all.)

I agree with the calls for a Jaguar XK-120/140/160

Some 1930s MGs would be nice.

Some of the common pre-war cars, like a Morris Cowley, Austin 7, Mercedes Berliner (170 I think is the number,) or Stuggart, Renaults, perhaps an early-ish Volvo.

Some more weird French cars would be fun, like a Puegeout 402 or something like that.

Pre-war Vauxhalls, Woolesleys, maybe the larger Morris.

Some Tatras or Skodas for something a little different.

An Alfa Spyder does sound nice, too.

Some of the big luxury cars- big Fiats, Hispano-Suizas, Isotta-Frashini, big Renaults, etc.

Tim- Esci did a Ford Transit, with the newer nose. You could probably rework it to the older style-

Question...

Somebody mentioned DeTomaso Pantera (would love one, by the way), was the Mangusta ever kitted? If no, add that one to my list, too. :)

Definitely the MGA and the Austin Sprite in sports cars. Come on Tamiya, you've done the Morgan 4/4, and the Alpine. How hard can it be to do the MGA? MG is now a dead brand, surely the licensing rights can't be that expensive?

And in daily drivers, the Ford Anglia with the notchback rear window, and the Morris Minor (not the Mini).

I'd also dearly love to have any of the 1930s Grand Prix cars from Auto Union, Mercedes, and Alfa Romeo in 1/24.

How about a Sunbeam Tiger? And don't forget about the 1937 & 39 Delaheyes with Figoni & Falaschi coach work.

Got a couple of 1/25 Sunbeam Tigers right here (EDIT: one of them is 1/32):

I'd like to see a 50's Volvo. The one that looks like a 40 Ford sedan. That would make a great gasser. Or even a Promod. Aaron Dupont

You are thinking of the PV444 and PV544 - they made them from the mid-40's and into the mid-1960's. Lot's of them were use as rally cars and still are.
