In the 70's I crossed 8 times the Sahara with a Renault 4 car. The route was Alger, Tamanrasset, Agadez.
I also went to Danet from Illizi, and from Djanet to Tamanrasset.
During the last trip in 1983 we went from the Garet El Djenoun mountain to the Amadror valley, and then to the Telerthebat mountain just with maps and compass, with 2 wheel drive R4. As I can remenber something like 300kms cross country.
This kind of car, 2cv and R4, is very reliable, very simple to fix, provided you're not in a hurry and you don't carry too much weight.
Good luck.
