Hi
On the link there is a green&grey estate car which looks a bit like a Rancho, it has a badge on the front which looks like a T with a / through it, and on the back it has a Citroen badge.

What is it?

Penman,

If you zoom on the rear shot it says Tielhol on the left corner and Tangara on the right corner. Assearch on Tielhol suggests it may be electric.

GTeilhol Tangara.
Good old Google:-

"When Citroen stopped making the Mehari there was still a small demand. They commisioned Raoul Teilhol (who builds plastic bodied cars on others running gear) to manufacture a replacement. The product is not a kit car and to get round French construction and use regs used the bulkhead and chassis of the 2CV. The rest is a ragbag of bits from the PSA parts bin. How many of you can place the wheel trim? Between 1987 and 1993 some 2000 cars were built at least 1454 Tangara's were built including 47 four wheel drive version and 63 based on the Citroen AX running gear. The company closed in 1993 but Mr Teilhol is still in business with a new company and the body panels are all still available.

There is an owners group and a well illustrated web site http://www.tangara.info/accueil.htm but it does help if you speak French."
