- Subject to an Ohio state court-ordered settlement, a rare 1954
Ferrari "375 Plus Spider" is estimated to sell at a Bonham's London
auction for $25 to $30 million, over ten times the original estimate of
the value in 2010 (when the lawsuit was filed). The car was the subject
of a lengthy ownership dispute between the individuals and now heirs of
the prolific car collector, Karl Kleve, who purchased the car in 1955
and removed some of the original parts (ironically to prevent theft),
and the Belgian racer and Ferrari dealer, Jacques Swaters, who purchased
the car in good faith in Europe in 1990, several years after the car
was allegedly stolen.
[ARIS Commentary: The expected high price for this rare Ferrari is
heightened due to the fact that the court settlement ensures that the
car is sold with all of the original parts and manufacturer
documentation; in other words, in this case a judicial ruling
establishes the authenticity and clear legal title to the Ferrari. The
art and collectible ownership risk extends to the rare, classic and
antique automobiles market, which likewise lacks a foolproof system to
ensure that traded automobiles are not stolen and are free of liens and
encumbrances. Although Kleve reported the theft of his Ferrari to local
law enforcement circa 1989, who reported the theft to Interpol, the car
was released with clear legal title by Belgian police in 1990 because
the imported Ferrari purportedly had a different chassis number from
Kleve's Ferrari. Only a title insurer that conducts "process
underwriting" in which the company takes a holistic view of assessing
submitted property including vetting the ownership history of the work,
and provides a financial guarantee of clear legal title to the property
can fully manage the risk exposure in the collectible automobile
market.] Access Full Text
