Don't know about Gambia, but the three-pointed star is lord of the highway in most of West Africa. Plenty of French vehicles around as well of course.
An 806 could make an excellent Atlantic route cruiser, especially if it's diesel. For your second car, you would be better off with the 205 rather than the Golf - at least in terms of spares and expertise on the way down.
Apart from an inch or two of piste (3-5km) at the Maroc/Mauri border the road is generally good the whole way down so your modding time is probably better spent on basic reliability stuff – although that might be less fun!
