Lotus Elite Type 14 Replica?

I'm wondering if anyone has news of the lovely old Lotus Elite kit being re-done with modern composites and other refinements? The original came in at 1,100 lbs and .29 cd. I'm sure that both numbers can be improved. I don't have the original layup schedule, but it may have just been polyester and mat, leaving vast opportunity for lighter, stronger parts.
