A 1997 Ferrari F50 with only 106 miles on its odometer has sold at Broad Arrow's Las Vegas auction. Preliminary results published by duPont REGISTRY on November 1 put the hammer price at $17 million and the total, including buyer's premium, at $18.705 million. The latter sets a public-auction record for the F50, although bidding stopped short of the pre-sale estimate of more than $20 million.
A remarkably complete late-production F50
Chassis 107165 is the 334th of 349 F50s produced. It was delivered new through Maranello Sales in Egham, England, and retains its original Rosso Corsa paint, Nero leather interior and red seat inserts. Its tiny mileage would be notable on its own, but the accompanying factory equipment gives the car another claim to exceptional preservation.
The removable hardtop still has its dedicated flight case. The car also comes with three pieces of Schedoni luggage, J.P. Tod's driving shoes, tools and protective covers. Broad Arrow highlighted these details in its pre-auction documentation. On a car built in such limited numbers, keeping the original accessories together matters to collectors as much as the odometer reading.
The F50's naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V12 traces its engineering to Ferrari's Formula 1 programme. It drives the rear wheels through a six-speed gated manual gearbox. That configuration helps explain the model's particular appeal among collectors seeking a flagship Ferrari without the hybrid systems of later generations.
Record price, but not an uncontested triumph
The previous F50 auction record stood at $14.575 million, established at Mecum Monterey in August 2026. The new buyer-paid result is approximately 28 percent higher. It is worth distinguishing the $17 million winning bid from the $18.705 million final total: both figures describe the same sale, but only the latter includes the auction fees.
A 2025 Ferrari Daytona SP3 was the second-highest sale in Las Vegas at $18.54 million including premium, according to the same early results. Broad Arrow's overall vehicle sales were reported at $92.8 million, with 64 of 84 cars sold. Some headline lots, including a Lamborghini Miura P400 SV and Bugatti EB110 GT, failed to sell.
The F50 result therefore reflects intense demand for this specific, scarcely driven example rather than a blanket guarantee for every top-end collectible. Broad Arrow had not yet issued its final post-event results when the preliminary figures were published.
