Owning a Ferrari F50 is undoubtedly a crowning achievement for any automotive collector. However, owning the car is just the beginning of the journey. As with other Ferraris, both new and old, the Maranello-based automaker included a number of accessories with their cars that owners may not even realise they’re missing. Owning these rare items isn’t just about collecting; it can significantly increase the car’s value and provenance. Here are some of the main accessories that we believe each Ferrari F50 owner should own to bolster their collection. AutomobiliaX has sourced many of these items for clients and can help other owners complete their collections as well.

Tod’s Ferrari Driving Shoes  - These Tod’s shoes are nothing like the regular Tod’s for Ferrari shoes. The Italian luxury brand and Ferrari came together to create a one-off pair of shoes made exclusively for Ferrari F50 owners. The shoes featured an F50 label inside and were made by Tod’s “Competition” department. They are extremely rare to find, even harder than the tool kit or luggage set.

Leather Document Pouch - Why keep your precious Ferrari F50 paperwork in a regular folder or pouch when you can instead get the official Ferrari F50 document pouch? Unlike the standard Ferrari document wallet, the Ferrari F50 document pouch was engraved with the original owner’s initials and contained a numbered inner pouch made by the Italian leatherworkers at Schedoni. Each pouch was a factory-issued item specific to the car, so hunting down the one for your specific F50 is paramount. The pouch also included a fascinating letter from Ferrari regarding your ownership, along with a questionnaire inquiring about the satisfaction of your F50 experience. What an incredible opportunity it was to have such a direct line to Ferrari!

1:18 Ferrari F50 Scale Model  - No car show display is complete without a scale model of your car. Lucky for us, Ferrari thought of this and included a scale model of the F50 presented in a special branded box with unique markings on the sides. The model sat on a carbon fiber and Alcantara base made by Schedoni, and came with an official letter from Ferrari recognizing it as part of the original owner presentation package. It was delivered by the factory prior to the car’s arrival as a small taste of the automotive marvel that would soon grace your garage. Very few complete examples survive.

Ferrari F50 Flashlight/Torch  - As with the document pouch, having any ordinary flashlight in your Ferrari F50 simply won’t do. The original F50 flashlight was a rare, rechargeable unit originally supplied with the car that could double as an interior courtesy light. This is often missing from F50s today, but is a small yet essential accessory for completeness.

A Ferrari F50 is valuable on its own; there’s no doubt about that, but owning the OEM accessories that came with the car not only increases its value but also its provenance and desirability to a collector who wants the entire package.
