'94 Mazda Miata R Package
Rumor has it that the Mazda Miata was styled after the original Lotus Elan. Here are some pictures of my 72 Elan S4 Sprint and my 94 Miata "R" package parked side by side. Both have twin cam engines, four wheel disk brakes, and four wheel independent suspension, and pop up headlights.
Speaking of pop ups...

The Elan's engine compartment. The bonnet is easily removed by unhooking a spring and lifting...
The Miata's engine compartment.
The Miata is actually larger than the Elan. Here's the view from the right side.
