The Tamiya 1966 Beetle was the first built that inspired the purchase of multiples add to that the Tamiya Minis, Fiats and Jag Mk IIs.....since then all the Revell 32 Ford variations and the 40 Fords and the Merc custom and the 48 fords....
I seem to recall a while ago that a company called Lee produced a few Mercedes kits in a box that had a very similar look to Tamiya. I know that I saw the bigger coupe and a sedan ( S600 s I think). They may have done this body style too....

These will 'date' me ! As a kid I remember 'The Great Race' and 'Monte Carlo or Bust'.
Far more light hearted and from a different era - but fun none the less!
