A Ferrari 365 GT4 BB, owned by Sir Elton John, is up for sale for $400,000.
Christie's auction house will soon host a sale of $10 million worth of Elton John's items.
The auction is set to start Wednesday, and Christie's is currently hosting a free exhibit in its New York City location until eight sessions of auctioning begin.
The items were collected from John's former Atlanta penthouse, which he listed for sale last fall for nearly $5 million. The property sold weeks later for more than $7 million, The Wall Street Journal reported in November.
