I’m not American or Canadian, but if I may contribute my two euro cents, it is beyond me why the model kit of Mercedes W113 “Pagoda” does not yet exist.

The AM Vantage that Scott suggested would be good in plastic. I have a feeling that there might be a die cast of it in 1/24th scale.

I wish that Tamiya would make the ultimate accurate E Type Jaguar kit in 1/24th scale.                                                Actually I think that they could do a great job of it in 1/12th scale going large ! Would probably be very popular subject if they could engineer it so that the modeller can build it in either RH of LH drive. Or maybe MFH might consider it.

It would be nice to see a Facel Vega Excellence from Heller. Who else, being a French luxury 1960's car.

For vintage, maybe an Aston Martin Lagonda,  Lamborghini Espada, or Jensen Interceptor.   For modern, a Bentley Continental GT or Mercedes CLS (1st or 2nd gen).

I am surprised that the very early Lambo 350 GT has never been done Bill ! It is a nice looking motor car.

Just about all their other cars have had kits made of them but this one seems to have slipped through the net somehow. Not sure if there is a resin offering out there somewhere.

I believe Pico Elgin has modeled one in 3D and printed it, but I don't know if it's available anywhere.

Still live in the 1980s, I do. More than one kit manufacturer has done the Ferrari 512 BB factory stock, and Fujimi has done a few Koenig Specials with no stock parts, and not the 512 BB at all. So, I'd like to see AMT style 2-in-1, stock and with the Koenig add-ons.

Nothing modern, at least in my corner.  And there are already plenty of decent Porsches and Ferraris. 

How about an Iso Grifo or maybe a Gordon Keeble?  Or maybe a Type 2 Karmann Ghia, the one that never made it across the ocean?

And, I still can't believe nobody has done a 1/24 scale split-window Beetle.  The earlier, the better.  Maybe even throw a KdF variant in there.
