The Graham Hill bust was discovered in a house on Beverley Road, Little Lever, in Bolton.
The stolen sculpture was found after a search warrant was granted following a joint investigation by Greater Manchester Police and Northamptonshire Police.
A suspect aged-47 has been arrested on suspicion of burglary and handling stolen goods and he has been detained in custody.
The Graham Hill bust will be going home to Silverstone after formal identification checks have been made.
