We have the opportunity to present a rare gem in the world of supercars, a 1995 Ferrari F50, chassis number 103496. This exceptional vehicle is one of only 349 F50s ever made, making it an exclusive addition to any collection. This three-owner supercar is not just any F50—it’s the only one with a significant racing history in the Maranello Ferrari Challenge, setting it apart from its peers.
The car’s journey began when Ian Hetherington purchased it from Specialist Cars in Bradford, England, on January 1, 1996. Its racing saga started in 1998, impressively prepared by Specialist Cars for a robust challenge in the Maranello Ferrari Challenge for the 1999 and 2000 series. During its racing tenure, it competed against formidable opponents, including race-prepared F40s and a 512 TR.
The F50 displayed stellar performance, securing numerous top finishes. In the 1999 series, it narrowly missed the championship, finishing second by a mere point. Its crowning achievement came in the 2000 series, where it won the championship, thanks to its outstanding record of six first-place finishes and four seconds.
After its successful racing career, the F50 found its way to Preston Henn in Fort Lauderdale, FL, in October 2000. It was repainted in Fly Yellow and became a centerpiece at the Swap Shop until 2019. The car’s history continued with a comprehensive restoration by Chris Dugan of Dugan Enterprises. This meticulous process, amounting to over $770,000, restored the F50 to its original, road-going Platinum standard. The restoration is a testament to the car’s rarity and the value of genuine F50 components.
Now, this Ferrari F50 stands as a symbol of Ferrari’s rich racing heritage and engineering prowess. It was showcased at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Monterey, and is in the process of receiving Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification.
This Ferrari F50 represents an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Ferrari’s legendary racing legacy. Prospective buyers are encouraged to contact duPont REGISTRY for detailed restoration invoices and access to an extensive archive of over a thousand race and restoration photos.
