Good luck searching - there are some modern concertos but they aren't public demain so they won't be available on IMSLP for a long time (Skalkottas, Malcolm Arnold for 2 violins and strings, Schnittke concerto grosso).

Have a look here:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:For_viol ... _orchestra
...if your browser truncates this link, copy the entire line into the browser

The Cambini and Davaux are sets of complete parts. Solo parts in these old prints usually also include the tutti passages, so they can be used to conduct the entire piece.

This list will still grow with the completion of the category project.

There's a Holst concerto for two violins. It's public domain in Canada, so it could be uploaded to IMSLP.

There's always Navarra by Sarasate. I have many recordings of it being performed by two violins and orchestra. You'd have to be super amazing at violin to pull that off though.

There might be something by Spohr or Dancla or Vieuxtemps though. You should check them out. They were all prolific violin composers that are largely forgotten now except for a few pieces.

There's also Mozart's Concertone in C, K 186E
