The McLaren is a surefire blue-chip collectible, with technological excellence backed up by true competition heritage. Winning at LeMans is a nice "occupational experience" to have in your marque resume.

If those 50 or so gentlemen with the green entrance passes really are serious car collectors, I think, with this remark of Mr. Keith Martin, the market for F1's just got a bit tighter...
Ontopic: a very interesting mystery. Things won't be cleared up, until we see the chassis # plaque, I reckon. There might be a couple of things in the story, that we can built on, the fact that Bscher knows he sold #022 to Collier as the most apparent. But you never know if Collier decided to sell this F1 on and bought another one later. Gerd Petrik might be certain that it's 022, but do we know whether he actually saw the car and it's plaque? From his little list of facts, it's obvious he was quite involved in the F1 market at the time, but if you hear this from a salesman who heard it from another who heard it....you catch my drift. (I just can't imagine Gerd being friendly with Wyclef
but who knows.....)
Shall we start the debate on the colours?
1. Erik, couldn't you have asked Bscher what colour his 022 was, when he sold it?
2. The off-factory colour of 022 was "Genesis Dark Blue". The car in the picture definately isn't. Did Bscher repaint it? Did Collier?
Interesting........
