Gerhard Berger’s 512M found after 28 years

I wonder how this car has been exported from Italy to Japan? normaly if things leaving a country the customs will check if all ok or not. and also the destination country customs will check.

 

which UK broker?

Bribes at both ports?

I believe there is a rabbit hole of a story to go with this car

 

The strange part is that they found it.

You are correct. I can assure you that there is plenty missing from the story as reported but there is also some patently false information in every article I've read about it thus far. Whether that is just news agencies making assumptions and filling in gaps to put a bow on their story, or whether they were given incorrect information from the start, isn't clear.

 

Gerhard Berger……”wtf did they do to my interior?”

 

when he said this? link please

 

It is believed that the car was not the property of Gerhard Berger, but was/is owned by the factory. Maybe that was the reason the British officials forced the the sequestration

 

Good lord……It’s a joke dude.

Careful. He's gonna ask you to fill out your profile

 

the funny thing is that both berger and alesi had their cars stolen prior to this from the aldrovandi hotel 'secure' car park in rome.

 

In the 1980s and 1990s many Ferraris stolen in Italy and France (Cote d'Azur) went via Marbella/Spain and then on to Dubai and further to Japan. Clearly organized crime and there were many groups of thieves involved. I have hundreds of court dox about these cases.

28 years ago, forging paperwork might not have been so difficult.

 

See post 14 and back then many stolen cars were just driven from Italy thru France to Marbella, Spain, where some specially motivated government people "did their job".

my 512bbi was stolen to order from my mechanic's garage switzerland in 2009, and driven into france in an attempt to escape as well - so the practice continues.....

 

Did you get it back?

 

Incredible news!

 

Far out Ross, did you get your car back?

 

yes, the police staked it out to catch the perp, but after 4 days they gave up and brought the car back.
then i had a 4 month 3 way argument with my insurance company, the garage insurance company, and the security service insurance company...and eventually i called a halt to it and had the car sent to the geneva dealer and ended up being the first car their classiche dept redid - btw it was so early in the history of that dept that i did not even get a red book ....

 

Wow man, that is crazy!! Glad it worked out in the end, shame you didn't get the red classiche book with it yeah.
