Reply to "No war, I only purchased a document"

Nicolas (and son), anybody paying attention would see that there is as much concern about preserving the history of the records (as there is personal interest in any members car). I think everyone is delighted that the records are safe. The MA1266 restoration is a great success story, publishing the details was a gift to the rest of us.
At the same time, it seems that the documents were rescued by a journalist (with deep knowledge of the history of the company) and a family member. Each clearly knew that the company had been sold, both knew that the records were valuable (by extrapolating the quote to me, valued at a total of 1.6 million euros for Mangusta buildsheets and origin documents alone). Not clear that a single euro was paid for these, but very clear that the documents already belonged to someone else then, someone who had made a huge financial investment of their own. So the right thing then (and possibly the legal obligation now, as the key points of bona fide purchase are all missing here, esp. since there was clearly knowledge of a prior claim) is to properly get title for the documents.
