Reports related to the import of this $700,000 worth Italian car states that the car has remained in the United States for eight years, since 2001. It was brought to the country by Claudio Zampoli, an automotive engineer for some repairing and maintenance works and he was supposed send it back after the job was done. However, Claudio Zampoli and his partner [who had imported this car] failed to quote the appropriate price of the car and so could not export it from the United States.

According to the sources, Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the United States has seized this car from the shop as it violated transportation and environment laws of the country. The Italian Sports Car that has been seized from the store is at a government storage presently. Officials stated that the car would be sold if it is forfeited by the federal government. However, if someone purchases the car then he would have to get it exported, as driving a 1994 Cizeta is prohibited in the country.
