Also, is there any good photos of the blue Embassy sponsored car out there? I've only seen one decent color shot.
I am going to the Montjuic Revival in a couple of weeks. Hopefully a 72 will show up. Or even better, the German owned Brabham BT-45B...

R2 would then be the car Rindt got killed in. Judging from this list it only consist of whatever remains of the 72?
I found a thread which mentioned an ex- Gunston 72 later owned by a Schryver (sp) that was then sold to Japan. R3?
Is R6 is the old Embassy car Keizan drove?
A Google search detailed a 72 being displayed in a Biltema (aftermarket car accessories) store in Uppsala, Sweden this summer. Is that the one which supposedly was on show at the defunct Ronnie Peterson museum?

Yes, I believe so. I think it is the last chassis built for the 1975 season.
