Field guns are an idea. I did sculpt a 1 pounder pompom for a client in 28mm awhile back. Small and cheap to produce compared to tanks. Motorcycles....hmmmm. I could easily get the wire wheels in 3D, then sculpt the rest. Interesting idea.

an M-26 Pershing ?

Selfishly, I would like to see earlier variants of the Vickers tanks (Mk 3, IIRC) for my Union Defence Force in East Africa.

Not tanks (as per OP) but:

BA-10?

Steyr staff cars?

Kruppe Protze?

CMP trucks?

Ford civilian-pattern trucks (these or variations made under licence)?

Ford/GAZ-AA and AAA?

Not a tank, but a Katyusha would be nice.

British motorcycles; interwar and WWII,in particular a Brough (the motorcycle TE Lawrence rode).

Bikes, bikes bikes. Rudges, Triumphs, Early Beemers.

The Wolf is correct - except for the Morris Minor where he is wrong. Brake drums as small as a terrier's kneecap.

"QLD and QLT trucks"

Shaun at S&S has a QLD he'll cast up if you ask nicely.

"German horse drawn equipment"

Redoubt Zulu general service wagons, ACW artillery horses, mounted Germans from Crusader. Some wire loops, bit of tinfoil moulded as a tarp. Resin sidkufizz riders as extra drivers. Problem solved.

But seriously, how many people are bonkers enough to be doing the integral transport?

I got enough flack for pitching the idea that the drivers have rifles and they should be included in the platoon sizings because.. well... when the shooting starts a man with a rifle is a man with a rifle...

Because I want German carts and wagons as debris and cover all over my battlefields (as they were) and they look very specific!
Colonial wagons for this period give em the heebie-jeebies! It's like using FT17s as Panzer Is.

Not quite WWII, but a 1/56th Crossley Tender would have serious Great war and interwar potential.

I'll buy you a drink - no, wait TWO drinks - at Historicon if you'll make me one.

Have you looked at the RR tender?

Didn't Britannia or Scheltrum or somebody do a German GS wagon and/ or a field kitchen for 28mm figures? I'm damn sure someone did.

1/56 Crossley? When the world is flooded with cheap, beautifully cast LLedo Crossleys that scale well with 28mm figures?

Keith, if you are desperate for a Daimler, don't turn your nose up at the ancient Dinky diecast. It's pretty much spot on in terms of scale and accuracy of the casting and they are cheap and plentiful.

I think Bolt Action or someone even sold it for a while ... I'd love to grab one if I ever find one.

I think the Dinky would be fine, just needs surface detail and new wheels. Would certainly be passable.
I must admit though, having got seriously back into my 28mm WW2 vehicles recently, I'm less inclined to 'make do and mend'. The latest generation of 28mm vehicle kits put a lot of what was available several years back to shame. It gives me hope that eventually a lot more ground will be covered to the same standard.

A lot of these suggestions are good. And a lot of the same are Deja Vu, as I've seen the masters for a lot of these as well (even the first casts! (not ours though) I can't remember who is planning to offer them though.

I've seen these and know that there are masters out there for:
BA-10
The 8-rad stummel
WW1 Lanchester Armored Car
Kruppe Protze
Ford civilian-pattern trucks ( I have 4 or 5 Resin/metal Zis trucks in 1:56 I traded from somewhere. Maybe it's unreleased)
Daimler Armoured Car
Marder III
sdkfz251/22
Bedford QL with alb porter
PanzerJager I
Panzer I Bison

I probably should post my 1:56 unbuilt kit, willing to trade list. It would take me a few days to compile it though.
