Panning shot from this years Goodwood 74MM of the Lola Chevrolet T70, chassis number SL76/141.
This car was originally sent to the US to compete in the Daytona 24 hours, and arrived partly assembled, leaving owner Ulf Norinder to complete the build ready for the race. Having qualified in 5th place, the car retired from the race after suffering accident damage. Rebuilt and repainted in the Valvoline livery, the car was entered into the Sebring 12 hours, but failed to finish after the suspension failed.
Having had an unsuccessful career, the car was sold to Solar Productions, who used the chassis as the base for a Porsche 917 replica that was then crashed (deliberately) in the making of the film Le Mans.
What parts that could be salvaged from this chapter in the cars history were then used to rebuild the car, where it passed into the hands of Clive Unsworth who made the car road legal and registered it for road use (what a sight that must have been in the early 70's).

I took this photograph in the paddock at Oulton Park before the start of the RAC International Tourist Trophy Race in May 1965. It's the 1965 Lola T70 of John Surtees who set the fastest lap in practice but retired with a steering problem after 19 laps of the first part of the race which was scheduled to be run in two parts, each part lasting for 2 hours. The car had a 5.3 litre Chevrolet V8 engine prepared by Traco.
Ever since I saw the new X-Wing design, I've been in love with its sleek look, and knew what had to be done. It took around two and a half weeks to build and I am extremely happy with the final outcome. It features a cockpit with enough room for one figure and movable S-Foils. Enjoy! :)

Another POV-Ray render. I meant to grab some parts to start building it when I was home from school in another part of the country but didn't. Maybe by Christmas I'll have a real LEGO model. The official Force Awakens LEGO set (at least from the leaked images) looks to be a little larger, and a little less sleek to accommodate playstuff. I'm still very happy with the economy of shapes on my model.
Finished!
I hope. Testing was wild...
Huge thanks to @brick.vault for help and PLENTY of patience.
22 versions, roughly 1200 pieces, good third of a year spent on design, build, redesign and rebuild. Crazy stuff.
T-70 is like secret final boss to LEGO modelling. Do you think classic T-65 X-Wing is hard? Try T70. Narrower and longer cockpit, narrower wings, much smaller rear fuselage and all the same angles to fit.
