Yes, you can still get engine bits. The 2.2 engine's design dates back to the Chrysler 180 from 1970 and is the same as in the Matra Murena 2.2, which is being driven by enthusiasts all over Europe. The V6 engine is the famous PRV engine, found in the Peugeot 604, Volvo 264, Renault 30, Renault Alpine and... DeLorean!
I'm not very sure about body parts, though. The Tagora wasn't a success, because it wore the Talbot brand name.
