there was an extensive article about this car and the transaction in the last Sports car market mag.

the original owner did manufacture goods for Herr Hitler during the war. No surprise there. The family name is Prym. They invented the shap fastener for clothing. During the war they manufactured airplane parts using slave labor. After the war they lost everything after being forced to pay 30,00,000 Euros in reparations to the families of the people who died working in their factory and fines.

The article said that most likely the present seller would be able to recover from the previous seller and so forth back to the origin.

In this case there have been seven owners.

The process breaks down if and when a buyer cannot recover or find the seller they bought from.

I imagine this will be tied up in court for a decade or so.

I don't know if they are entitled to interest. I also wonder if a seller has died his estate is liable. It would follow that his estate would be liable if the heirs to the fellow who had the car taken from him originally can recover.
