PORT MORESBY - Papua New Guinea has recovered 40 Maserati cars that vanished after being controversially purchased for a recent Apec summit in the impoverished nation, but other vehicles bought for the event remain missing. Three Bentley Flying Spur V8 vehicles worth at least $410,000 each will also be subject to tender. An unknown number of vehicles are still in use by government departments and agencies, the documents show. There are growing concerns that the ultra-conspicuous Maseratis may only have resurfaced for long enough to be bought legally by well-connected firms at a discount price. It was not immediately clear if a reserve had been placed on the vehicles.
