Tecno F2 Chassis Numbers???

Can someone please help in unravelling the history of an F2 Tecno please?

The car I'm told is a 1971 Tecno F2 (model TF71 I believe). The chassis number is 808 and the owner says it was raced by drivers such as Francois Cevert in 1970.

The complete history of this chassis I have from the current owner is:

RACE’S Tecno Chassis n. 808

-13.09.1970 V Tulln-Langenlebarn
Tecno Racing Team Driver : Francois Cevert
-27.09.1970 IX Gran Premio CittÃ* di Imola
Tecno Racing Team Driver: Francois Cevert
-11.10.1970 III Preis Von Baden
Tecno Racing Team Driver: Francois Cevert
-04.04.1971 V Deutschland Trophae
Racing Team Iris Driver: Nanni Galli
-15.05.1971 IV Grand Premio De Madrid
Racing Team Iris Driver: Nanni Galli
-13.06.1971 I Gran Premio Madunina ( Vallelunga)
Racing Team Iris Driver: Claudio Francisci
-20.06.1971 XII Gran Premio della Lotteria di Monza
Racing Team Iris Driver: Claudio Francisci
-27.06.1971 XIX Grand Prix de Rouen
Racing Team Iris Driver: Claudio Francisci
-25.07.1971 X Gran Premio di Imola
Racing Team Iris Driver: Claudio Francisci
-12.09.1971 I Jochen Rindt Tulln-Langenlebarn
Racing Team Iris Driver: Nanni Galli
-10.10.1971 XXIII Gran Premio di Roma
Racing Team Iris Driver: Luigi Fontanesi
-31.10.1971 I Tornero Brasilero Formule 2
Racing Team Iris Driver: Claudio Francisci


I've trawlled Google and can find results that shows Cevert raced a 1970 (not 1971) Tecno in late 1970 but for the life of me can't find any chassis numbers to tie this car to the results above.

Can anyone throw light on this please as I'm considering buying the car but want to be sure it's history is accurate so I can obtain FIA papers.

Many thanks

Matt

You don't need to know the history to get FIA papers these days!

Unless you want to waste the cost of an engine rebuild (or something useful) on an FIA Heritage Certificate!!

The car that Cevert drove at the end of 1970 is listed in the F1R book as the 1970 Tecno chassis 808. Similarly, F1R show Tecno 70 chassis 808 as the Team Iris car driven by Galli and others in 1971.

However, transcribing a set of results for a particular car out of F1R is not the same as knowing that the car you have is that same car. As Ted has already asked, does the car have a chassis plate and what history has been given for the car after 1971?

Also, as Peter has said, knowing the history of the car is no longer necessary when getting papers to race that car. You just have to be able to show that the car is in the exact specification of a 1970 Tecno or a 1971 Tecno.
