Notes:

This model is of the narrow frame version. The handful of brass models pre-date the PBL-R15 plastic kit version, but otherwise are of the same car. They were released under the "Milestone Models" brand name of P-B-L.

P-B-L forgot to photograph the final production models, so this is of their unpainted pilot model only.
