Except that they didn't. They took a bunch of classic sports cars of many makes and models, test drove them all extensively, and then tried to take the best aspects of each, the aspects that made them great cars (handling, sound, etc...) and tried to build a car that had all of the right parts. They didn't actually try to copy the Elan. That's a common misconception.
