Build a 'new' Elan?

In a whimsical way, I wonder if it would be possible/economic to think of building a 'new' Elan from available components?
Accepting that such a creation would lack best provenanance, use of new chassis, body moulding & running gear seems possible - almost wonder why no-one seems to do this already, in days when many re-creations are out there & available for ?......................
(Not sure which engine/gearbox combo would be optimum, given that the 'new' Elan is never going to be viewed as original - Zetec? Should be possible to build in enhancements in various areas, for easier everyday usability)
