Rally Elans.

As some of you are aware I'm researching what might be called "non-standard" Elans (back in the period, not modern repros, fakes or, what I'm now informed, we must call GTS cars).
Current historic rallying seems to have a crop of very quick Elans, (some unbelievably quick), given that, back in the day, there does not appear to have been much effort put into using these fragile plastic projectiles on rough roads.
I have seen the odd photo of Elans being rallied in books but there seems to be scanty information, so I thought that I would ask the assembled experts here to see what emerges from the fog.
Here are some photos that I took back in 2009 at the Race-Retro show:
If you have any info on rally Elans- back in the day, or modern shots of period cars, please pitch in.
