A rare Ferrari stolen 28 years ago from an ex-Formula One
driver in London has been recovered by police.
The red Ferrari F512M was shipped to Japan after it was
taken from Gerhard Berger in 1995, the Metropolitan Police said.
The car, worth £350,000, was one of two Ferraris that were
stolen. The other remains missing.
Officers said it worked with Ferrari and international car
dealerships in a "painstaking" investigation.
No arrests have been made.
The sportscar had been stolen in April 1995 while Mr Berger
was at the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola, Italy.
The force's organised vehicle crime unit and the National
Crime Agency discovered the car had been in Japan until it was brought back to
the UK in late 2023.
Ferrari alerted the force in January after it carried out
checks on the model, which was bought by a buyer in the US.
PC Mike Pilbeam said: "The stolen Ferrari - close to
the value of £350,000 - was missing for more than 28 years before we managed to
track it down in just four days."
