A man who bought one of the world’s most expensive cars, a Ferrari 250 GTO, is entitled to have its original gearbox, located years after the sale in a US workshop, a judge has ruled.
Gregor Frisken, who runs a dealership in London, agreed to buy the prized car from Bernard Carl, a collector in California, for $44 million in 2017, knowing the gearbox was missing.
The gearbox was later located in a car workshop, but a disagreement between the pair over an additional payment escalated until Mr Carl was demanding $500,000 from Mr Frisken for the “unique and special” gearbox.

Mr Carl has until Monday to appeal the judgment.
