It's one of four Ferrari supercars from the same collection set to cross the block.

Ultimately, the numbers are academic, since today’s supercars eclipse every specification of the F50 apart from weight. As sometimes happens, the F50 became largely ignored as newer, shinier successors like the Enzo and LaFerrari came on the scene. But more recently, the F50 has become an almost religious relic among the Ferrari faithful.
The pristine condition of the interior reflects the car’s careful stewardship and the fact that it has only been driven about 817 miles. This particular Ferrari F50 was delivered new, in 1996, to Étienne Léandri, a defense lawyer and perspicacious Ferrari collector from Monaco. It has covered only 1,318 kilometers in 26 years. A total of eight cars from Léandri’s estate will be auctioned by Artcurial Motorcars at the Rétromobile Salon in Paris on March 18.
These four examples of varying Ferrari supercars were formerly owned by Étienne Léandri, a Monaco-based lawyer and collector. In 1989, Léandri acquired his F40 liveried in Ferrari’s traditional Rosso Corsa, which became the color choice for his three subsequent Prancing Horse purchases also now on offer.
