Model Builders Out There

As a young teen (early and mid-60's), one of my hobbies was model building. Spent virtually all of my lawn-mowing money on them. Now I'm looking to build models of some of the cars I've owned, and others that I've always liked. Back in the day, 1/24th scale was the way to go, and I still like that size over the others.

I have been looking for 1/24th scale models of the MGB GT for quite a while, and they just don't seem to be out there. There are plenty of Tourer models available, but I've never been able to find the GT in that scale. Finally scored one on ebay, but it was just a separate body packaged by the seller with a model of the Tourer. I have no idea where the GT body came from, but it does line up perfectly with the rest of the Tourer model (from Aoshima).

Now I'm wondering if there's enough interest to have a mold made from this body, and if so, whether it's worth it and how to go about doing that.

Any suggestions? (Other than getting a life!)
