A Ferrari stolen from Formula 1 legend nearly three decades ago has been recovered by British police. The red Ferrari F512M, valued at approximately $443,500, was taken from the racing icon during the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola, Italy, in April 1995. The theft occurred as the 10-time Grand Prix winner witnessed the car being driven away but was unable to apprehend the thief.
The car's disappearance remained a mystery until January of this year when it was located in the UK. Ferrari alerted authorities after discovering that the vehicle, which had been purchased by a US buyer through a UK broker, was reported stolen. The Organised Vehicle Crime Unit meticulously investigated the car's history, tracing its origins back 28 years to the theft from Berger.
