    - The Ferrari show car used to introduce the F50 to the world
    - Last Ferrari with five-digit chassis number
    - Sold new to Ferrari dealer Jacques Swaters of Belgium
    - Carefully maintained, with less than 900 miles

    In typical Ferrari fashion, the company announced just 349 cars would be built over two years – one less than the market demanded. The first 10 cars went to Europe, while deliveries to the United States began in July 1995. Each owner received a document signed by Luca di Montezemolo attesting to the authenticity of the car, and all the owners were invited back to Modena after the last F50 was produced, in order to celebrate the evolution of the car.

    While the release of the F50 series was a landmark event, the example offered here, chassis 99999, is particularly significant. First of all, it marks the end of an era, as it is the last Ferrari to be assigned a five-digit chassis number. It also served as a show car for Ferrari and was displayed at some of the most prestigious motor shows when the F50 was first introduced to the world. First shown at Geneva in March 1995, chassis 99999 appeared at such venues as the Tokyo Motor Show, the Forza Ferrari Meet at Suzuka, and Ferrari Days at Spa-Francorchamps, as well as a showing to Ferrari clients at Fiorano, followed by an appearance at the Tutte le Ferrari meeting, held at Mugello.

    As might be expected, these Ferrari supercars were sold new to the company’s most important and discerning clients. Following its high-profile show career, chassis 99999 was sold to Ferrari dealer Jacques Swaters’ Garage Francorchamps SA, which is located in Zaventem, near Brussels, Belgium. Mr. Swaters, a close personal friend of Enzo Ferrari’s and long-standing principal of the highly successful Ecurie Francorchamps racing team, is known to have retained 99999 at least until 2006. In late October of that year, the car was advertised for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter. It was sold to the United States, and in August 2008, the F50 was displayed at Quail Lodge in Carmel, California.

    Under the current owner, the F50 was federalized by G & K in Irvine, California, carefully maintained and sparingly driven. Today, the odometer shows fewer than 900 miles.
