In one of his numerous trips in Morocco with a Citroen 2CV, the Emile Leray (called the 'doctor of the African Engineering' from his friends) struck on a rock in the middle of the desert, but he had an idea.

With the front axle of the car damaged and with limited food, the Leray faced the possibility of dying in the middle of the desert. What did he do; He designed the ultimate escape, turning the car on a motorcycle.

Certainly many have questioned the authenticity of this story, and while such a conversion would be difficult to achieve with simple tools, It is difficult to say with certainty that it is impossible.
