The developing mystery of chassis #022...

[svxit]

I did a search on Google and found picts from the article (but not yet the article itself), and the car appears to be green, but it's difficult to tell. Will keep searching.

There's plenty of visual references including some short videos floating about for the F1 Wyclef owned. If you can find the magazine that would be great, but we aren't desperate for the pictures like we were with the Black LMs.

The color was indeed a dark metallic blue and he'd had the interior seating done almost completely in white, with a red center section to the driver's seat. The rest of the interior carpet and dash were very dark blue/black/grey. The wheels were also polished during the time he owned it.

What was never confirmed with actual visual proof was the chassis number. However, I think at this point we've gotten together enough circumstantial evidence and outside sources to confirm that it was the same as this car in Mr Collier's hands and the same as the F1 that was originally owned by Mr Bscher, all of which are indeed #022.

It was really just the way Mr Bscher told me about the transaction and seemed to be unfamiliar with "Wyclef Jean" that brought about the "mystery".

Cannot remember whether I posted this one already but, this is the only picture I took of #022

I recently came across an issue of Australian FHM issue #105 which I believe to be have been printed either late last year or early this year. Inside was an article on Wyclef Jean's car collection, amongst which was a McLaren F1.

Unfortunately I was only able to view the article in transit, so I retained very little information, but off the top of my head - and this is by no means concrete - there was a blue F1 in the image next to his red or orange Zonda with him standing in-between. I couldn't say how old the article or image is, but if it's recent is there any chance that he still owns whichever car he has? I've been doing my best on tracking it down - yes, REALLY for one of the articles! - but unfortunately no luck so far, pending an return email from an ebay auction. Fingers crossed, this article could potentially shed quite a bit of light.

Wyclef sold his cars to finance a music project. His F1 is the green one Erik posted above, it was refitted after he sold it

His Zonda went to Dan Kennedy in Scottsdale, AZ. Dan is an ex-F1 owner. Its interesting to note that when Wyclef owned the Zonda, it wasn't here legally. Not sure if it still is or not.

I love the last pic!
This is probably the first time where we can really judge the colour due to the quality of this shot...

Dan Kennedy does not own Wyclef's Zonda nor has he ever owned it. I have no reason not to believe Dan.

Agreed, I like it too. As well as the colour, even if it was just for being unique
