It is powered by a 4.7-litre, 60-valve, V12 engine and can zoom from 0-to-60mph in just 3.6 seconds and reach over 200mph.
It would have cost about £350,000 brand new or £725,000 in today’s money taking inflation into account.
So it is set to sell for nearly nine times as much.
Famous Ferrari F50 owners include fashion icon Ralph Lauren, music legend Rod Stewart, boxer Mike Tyson, former Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher, and rapper 50 Cent, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Its listing says: “Claiming modest mileage through a lifetime in forgiving climates, this F50 is particularly fetching.
“Completed in November 1995, chassis number 104064 is the 60th car built, and it was finished in the characteristic livery of Rosso Corsa Ferrari over a Nero interior offset with Rosso seat inserts.
“The Ferrari was initially owned by Stephen Cloud of Campbell, California, the principal of a distribution company in the Fresno area.

“In April 1998 John Carmack of Rockwall, Texas, acquired the F50 and the car remained in the Lone Star State through July 2005.
“It then passed to a San Diego-based dealership that reportedly commissioned $100,000 in servicing, including installing a new fuel cell and Tubi exhaust system, as well as replacing all belts, hoses, and filters.
“In June 2006 the Ferrari was sold to Thomas Kosasa, an endocrinologist residing in Hawaii, where the car would remain for the following 13 years.
“During its time there the F50 was regularly serviced by Ferrari of Hawaii.
“In preparation for the current offering, the car was submitted to Ferrari of Newport Beach in Southern California for a thorough service that included recharging the air conditioning system.
“Replacing the rear plexiglass, brake lines, accessory belt, and rear engine main seal; and mounting new Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires.
“Most importantly, the fuel cell was again replaced.
“This six-figure expert attention has mechanically refreshed the F50 to roadworthy condition.
“CARFAX mileage logs suggest that the current modest odometer reading of 8,195 miles at the time of cataloguing is a true figure representing actual use.
“Ideal for display at Ferrari Club of America gatherings, premium exhibitions, and supercar Sundays, this highly authentic and gently used F50 is accompanied by a hard top roof panel with flight case
“The optional soft top with roll hoops, a set of owner’s manuals, and Tod’s Ferrari F50 driving shoes, a rarely seen original F50 accoutrement.
“Given the presence of so many desirable accessories, chassis 104064 would make a smashing acquisition for discerning Ferrari enthusiasts, beautifully representing one of the seminal components of the Italian automaker’s “Big Six” hypercar portfolio.”
It is being auctioned by RM Sotheby’s in Phoenix, Arizona, US, on 23 January.
