Isn't the B the production version?
Jeff Byard's T-21 in Tehachapi is affectionately known as "The
Rhonmoose" and was always a hit on New Years Day for the Open Cockpit
Regatta.
Sadly, it's down for restoration.
I think they stole the look of the T-21 for the Batmobile. The black
nose with twin windscreens....
Batman and Robin could be "photoshopped" into a T-21, with a blur of
scenery passing by at 40MPH.
Min was a character in the 1950s "Goon Show" (Peter Sellers, Spike
Milligan, Harry Secombe, Michael Bentine, et al) which set the stage
for all sorts of lunacy such as "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and of
course influenced my personal modus operandi.

Min is in the middle.
