At long last, the world-wide Citroën cyber community has concrete proof that a 2CV supercharged vehicle actually exists.
These photos were taken and submitted for your consideration by the owner, Matt Roberts.

Has to be the wildest car about! It maintains an amazing ability to completely overcome the front tyres and send itself straight on with smoke pouring from the wheel arches!
But it also doubles as convenient transport to and from the shops, and indeed to work, beauty spots, evenings out etc. In fact it's my everyday car. It even starts on frosty mornings!
