Police in Germany have recovered a Ferrari worth millions that was stolen during a test drive on Monday and are on the lookout for the suspected thief.
The man reportedly spent several weeks communicating with the classic car dealer in Dusseldorf before coming to the showroom to take the 1985 288 GTO for a spin.
A salesman went with him, and when he got out of the car to take over the wheel in nearby Neuss the customer pulled away at a rapid pace.
On Wednesday, police confirmed that the car had been recovered in a garage in the city of Grevenbroich on Tuesday, but did not reveal details of the operation, according to NRZ.

Ferrari only built 272 examples of the car from 1984 to 1987, and it was once the fastest production car in the world. The stolen car was once owned by retired Ferrari Formula One racing driver Eddie Irvine, has 27,000 miles on the odometer and is estimated to be worth $2.2 million or more.

That’s a lot of miles for a car like that. Factory recommended maintenance over that many miles could maybe buy you a better than decent used Porsche 911. Which is why some of them are offered for sale with those services deferred. And some neophyte with more dollars than sense thinks he’s getting a super deal. The old saying is that if you can’t afford to buy it new, you can’t afford it used.

I’ve seen that movie a hundred times. This was the first time I ever noticed the odometer clicking another mile.
