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?

Interesting topic. Being from the prairies of Canada we see few European cars on the road and even fewer models of European cars in our LHS so excuse me if I name a few cars that have already done in kit form.

-Volvo P1800 coupe

-Jaguar XK8 cv.

--an Aston Martin DB7 cv.

-Ferrari 250 California or Lusso

-a Morgan Plus 8 or 4/4

-Volkswagon Thing

-Me 200 four wheeler (Tiger)

-Audi TT cv.

-a current Smart car preferably a cv.

-BMW Z4 street car

-a better Mercedes 190 cv (how abou it Revell AG replace that other ancient Revell kit)

-a good Ferrari 308 GTS

-a street car version of a McLaren F1

-an Alfa Romeo Duetto cv.

-Triumph TR-6 or Spitfire

-the return of the Gunze European car line

Essentially anything from about 1934 and older.

Alfa Romeo , Talbot Lago , Figioni as some examples.

ESPECIALLY this

Figoni et Falaschi built some of the best looking cars ever :)

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).

Posted

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!)

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.

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

TOYOTA CORONA MARK II 1900 S

Kit Nr. 122 in glorious 1/31 scale with wind-up motor, :)

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.

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.

Its' remarkable we have the RS500-race and the XR-4i -street versions.  Hoping for a third version doesn't seem realistic.

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?

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.

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.

Facel Vega HK500

Tatra T87 and 603

another vote for the Volvo P1800

1960 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?
