Yep - bit like a Mehari in that all the mechanical and chassis bits are standard 2CV/Dyane, so as long as you've got the body, you can resurrect just about anything. The Tangara's a bit more solidly constructed than the Mehari as well - Mehari panels tend to get brittle and craze badly but the Tangara's much thicker fibreglass.

I'd be tempted myself, but I rather think it would need bringing back from the Island of Réunion, in the Indian Ocean... They seem to be popular there - at least another two on Leboncoin at the moment.
Oh well, probably best. If I bring back yet another 'project' I WILL be killed and buried in a shallow grave.
