German police have recovered a valuable 1980s Ferrari stolen during a test drive and are searching for the man believed to have sped off with the car while posing as a would-be buyer. The red Ferrari 288 GTO, first registered in 1985, is believed to be worth more than $2.2 million. A man answering an advertisement turned up for a sales appointment in Duesseldorf on Monday, then sped off with the vehicle when the seller got out of the car to swap places during a test drive.
The Ferrari was recovered Tuesday in the nearby Grevenbroich area, where it was hidden in a garage, reports the AP. Police are still seeking the thief and released a picture Wednesday of a middle-aged man whom the Local describes as "burly" and wearing glasses. They have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
