(I just can't imagine Gerd being friendly with Wyclef but who knows.....)

Well for starters, don't confuse the contributor here with the username gerd as being "Gerd Petrik". That's definitely not the case from what I can tell.

Ontopic: a very interesting mystery. Things won't be cleared up, until we see the chassis # plaque, I reckon.

Agreed, unfortunately...

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.

Yeah - like I said, I don't think there's anyway someone can discredit that point.

But you never know if Collier decided to sell this F1 on and bought another one later.

I have thought about this possibility myself, but the 2003 sale date of #022 from Bscher to Collier still wouldn't allow for Collier to have sold that car to Wyclef, since Wyclef had already had his F1 for almost a year or more by that point.

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?

I honestly didn't think to ask him about colors at all. At the time I thought the car was sold "as-is" to Wyclef and then he had the interior changed to suit his own tastes, which was certainly something that car needed. Afterwards I was kicking myself for not at least asking Mr Bscher what he was thinking on the green/yellow interior combination. Possibly if I had pryed into that aspect at the time I would have learned something new right then and there.

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?

That's a good question too, and part of what does not make this an open and shut case. Wyclef's car actually looks to be a color one might name "Genesis Dark Blue" even.

Interesting........

Interesting indeed.
