The Ferrari was stolen in April 1995 in Italy, where the San Marino Grand Prix was taking place in Imola. The car, worth around 350,000 pounds (408,615.96 euros), has now been seized, as the Metropolitan Police in London announced on Monday. The British were called in by Ferrari in January following the company had reviewed a car sale by a British broker to a US buyer. It turned out that the car was stolen.
No arrests, investigations ongoing
Investigators from a unit that specializes in organized crime involving vehicles then initiated extensive investigations. The car was shipped to Japan shortly following it was stolen until it was brought to Great Britain at the end of 2023, the police report said. The vehicle was then confiscated to prevent export.
No one was initially arrested and the investigation is ongoing. In addition to the red Ferrari F512M, a second sports car was also stolen in Italy. The investigators in London wrote that the second vehicle was still missing.
