maltsr Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Basically nothing foreign since approx the mid 30s The OP asked for kits we would like to see.Perhaps you could enlighten us as to which cars from prior to "approx the mid 30s" you would like to be produced?
robertw Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Interesting topic.

Alfa Romeo , Talbot Lago , Figioni as some examples. ESPECIALLY this

Mark Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Split-window Beetle!Fiat Topolino (there is a stock one in 1/35...1/24 isn't that much bigger).Ford Model Y and Anglia (first three generations would probably sell well).
ChrisBcritter Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Mercedes 280SE 4.5 or 6.3 Mercedes 190SL (with Rosemarie Nitribitt's license plate H70-6425 on the decal sheet ) Rolls-Royce Corniche Ford Consul Capri '58 Vauxhall Victor estate '57-'60 Opel Rekord (really want to build a gasser out of this!)
Richard Bartrop Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Interesting topic. Being from the prairies of Canada we see few European cars on the road and even fewer models of European cas in our LHS so excuse me if I name a few cars that have already done in kit form.Funny thing, growing up in British Columbia in the sixties and seventies, I remember British sedans were pretty common, especially Fords and Vauxhalls. I think nearly all of them have rusted back into the soil by now.

935k3 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I found this at Rider's the other day... That sure was a beauty.
SfanGoch Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I know it's not European, but I for 1 would like to see a '64-'70 Toyota Corona. Highly popular in Japan and here in the States. Surprised none of the Japanese companies haven't jumped on it yet.... Actually, Crown Models of Japan issued this 1964 Toyota Corona Mark II 1900 SL Kit Nr. 122 in glorious 1/31 scale with wind-up motor,
Shardik Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Everything I might suggest has already been enumerated, with the exception of the fairly rare Triumph TR3C.
Richard Bartrop Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Everything I might suggest has already been enumerated, with the exception of the fairly rare Triumph TR3C.I know ab out the TR3A, and Minicraft still makes the Hubley kit, I think, and I know about the B, but the TR3C is a new one on me.
afx Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Ford Sierra has been issued by Tamiya. Edited June 2, 2016 by afx
rusty85 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Ford Sierra has been issued by Tamiya. I knew about those, but it'd be nice to be able to get a street version of the RS500 without having to bash together two expensive hard to find kits.
afx Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I knew about those, but it'd be nice to be able to get a street version of the RS500 without having to bash together two expensive hard to find kits.Its' remarkable we have the RS500-race and the XR-4i -street versions. Hoping for a third version doesn't seem realistic.
lysleder Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 In addition to some of the ones mentioned above, I also would like a Lada VFTS This one. I believe it is a Saoutchik Talbot-Lago that could be made by modifying the Heller kit. And who wouldn't want an NSU Prinz 1000 TT?
Jon Cole Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I wish they would tool up a Delahaye but they would insist it also get shared as a police car, a tuner, and three different engine choices.
Aaronw Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Speaking of police cars how about a Peugeot 403 convertible
Deathgoblin Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 How about a Hillman Avenger or Lotus Elite/Eclat?
Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 if Estern Europe cars would count, I would want all VAZ and GAZ models. In special the VAZ-2104, the GAZ M21 Volga, GAZ M2424 Volga (KGB Interceptor) and a GAZ Pobeda. Western European cars, well, I keep my former answer. None.
RancheroSteve Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Facel Vega HK500Tatra T87 and 603another vote for the Volvo P18001960 Hillman Minx (because it was my first car)all kinds of sports racing and F1 cars from the 50s and 60s - but I took your question to be more about production road cars?
