Solving the recent mystery of the silver car that was back in BingoSports inventory is another post from LP4.com who works in the car trade biz in the UK:

Bingo Sports still have number 13 for sale, although on consignment from the owner who, has just had it over in the uk at the factory, i believe a deposit has been taken on it in the past few weeks.

So that settles it for me - they did indeed take back #013 after it's world tour and it somehow not only lost it's red stripes in all this, but also the extremely unique signature from Gordon Murray that had been on the corner of the Brake Balance Foil. Hopefully they just fitted a new one to the car and someone kept the autographed one for a display piece?
This same source was also able to confirm that the silver car currently advertised by SPS in HK is actually chassis #064 shown in detail on their website, even though the images in their current ad on Anamera.com show #063 instead. To me, that means the silver F1 road car that appeared in the ZAZ Museum in 2008 was more than likely #063 coming back to Japan as I heard one of the SPS cars had.
What a helpful guy!
