The only resin kits that come to mind are the one's done by Airtrax, but there not cheap ... they have a few that I really want to build, but thinking of plastic, Tamiya did a few good one, MK2 Jag', Austin Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, V.W Beetle, have a look for some kits made by Gunze Sangyo, most of them are kerbside, again they did a V.W Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Austin Healey Sprite, Fiat 500, Lotus Elan, Triumph TR2 & 3, I've built the little Sprite, and they go together very well.

Hi Stretch
60's saloon bodies are thin on the ground and one bet may be 1/32?
HOWEVER, to expand on geebees comments, there are plans to produce resin Cortina and Anglia body shells (you may see some at SMW on the Hot Rod SIG stand) but their drawback is that they require Revell/Esci Escort underpinnings and until they reissue it again, the prices are in silly territory just now.
One other alternative is to look for slot car body's in your chosen scale (1/32 or 1/24) there may be something up your street amongst them. Again you will need an appropriate chassis doner.
