One more digression.
I stumbled across this article about the original prototype Lola Mk.6 GT - the really smooth and simple body shape I remember best.
Some nice photos here.

Also there's a link in the blog post to a Jay Leno's garage video about the car and its owner which, I rather suspect, will be interesting to anyone who has not already seen it.
