That's a mint Vent Noir (Black Wind), and it appears to be the second model - II. That is a very valuable and sought-after machine. You could upgrade it to modern components, but it looks fine to ride as is. Perhaps some new tires & tubes would be in order, or are those sew-ups?

Whether it's been ridden before is really a moot point. It's in outstanding condition (not outstanding in the rain of a backyard somewhere) and is simply beautiful!

Take a close look at the dropouts and see what they say. I'm guessing Shimano.
