An incredibly rare sports car that was designed, built and funded by a single wealthy collector has emerged for sale for a whopping £170,000.
The Lancia Hyena Zagoto dates back to 1992 when motoring enthusiast Paul V.J Koot created it by hand after being rejected by Lancia themselves.
He initially approached them with the idea of transforming their Integrale HF Evoluzione 2 hatchback with the help of bodywork experts Zagoto. However, Fiat, who owned Lancia, hated the idea and refused to support the project.
Mr Koot, a Dutchman, therefore decided to run the project himself and set about creating 75 Hyenas to sell to the general public.
Due to extortionate costs only 24 were ever completed, with this example going under the hammer with SIlverstone Auctions, of Warks.
