One of those Diesel motorcyles being built in Riverside, CA for the military would make a great backhalf, an aircooled VW front beam for simplicity, but use an aftermarket sandrail aluminum version to reduce weight. Then just whip up a body
Hi there

Someone has done similar in the UK using a 2cv for the basis :-

Tryane II

A 2cv does have a chassis be he bolted all the 2cv bits to a wooden chassis/monocoque similar to a Marcos so it would weight less than 450kg [ 900 lb ] then it would be in the cheapest road tax group.

regards Paul
