1999/mar/16 - Schaefer filed an appeal to the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt (OLG) (court of 2nd instance)  
2001/oct - the Italian police secured several parts of the car, such as the V12 engine 1893GT and body parts. All parts were given back to Walter Schaefer  
2006/jan/11 - the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt (OLG) (Az.: 7 U 50/99) orders AXA Versicherung AG to pay Walter Schaefer compensation in the amount of € 352,791,39 plus 4% interest since 18th July 1997.  
2006/mar/03 - Walter Schaefer sold the ownership rights for 0636MDTR together with engine 1893GT, a 4-speed gearbox, the original engine block from 0636MDTR and body parts such as the original hood cover to Volkmar Spielmann

This car is regarded by many experts as the car which was stolen in 1997 while it belonged to Walter Schaefer. On 8 June 2017 Stehle Operations GmbH & Co KG bought this car from CERBI S.A., FL. Since then various law suits have been filed by Stehle and Spielmann against each other.
 
2018/jul - Original engine block from 0636MDTR sold to Michael Stehle  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
99 - both engines (unstamped and 0636MDTR) sold to Cottingham / Roelofs apperantly never happened
99 - unstamped TR engine to John Bosch, NL  
 

Note:

Already in 1997, the Italian police was able to confiscate some parts of the car and arrest at least one individual involved in the case. The car was obviously dismantled immediately and the parts sold separately. The frame never appeared again and it seems that the car will be lost forever.

20.. - chassis with Favero ("advertised" as 0614MDTR) ... who sold to Michael Stehle

20..- Insurance Company sold ownership rights to Michael Stehle (for some time)

.. - a very long and complicated story ... Volkmar Spielmann bought the ownership rights and some parts from Walter Schaefer
