It was an Elan that was in the Avengers.

My younger brother took care of one of these cars back in the early to mid 1970's,..when I looked at it closely,..it was made mostly of a wood monocoque fiber glassed reinforced Plywood body pan for most of the cars main body frame and sub structure. What a little potent car if I ever saw one,..

Elites don't have any wood in their chassis. Could you be thinking of a Marcos GT?

"And likely anti-roll bars"? What, did you just decide not to look that one up? For the record, Elites had anti-roll bars on the front but not the rear. The front ones also served as part of the upper wishbones, as on the Seven. Extra credit: the rear suspension is elegantly simple, comprising only three elements: a strut, a trailing link, and a half shaft. The half shaft and the trailing link, together, form a virtual A-arm. This arrangement is called the Chapman Strut because it was invented by Colin Chapman.
