MY DISCLOSURES... I cannot state anything about these cars authenticity and my policy simply is that without the owner producing an “FIA Heritage Certificate”, not to be confused with the HTP (”Historical Technical Passport”), the burden of authenticity falls with the respective car’s owner and will be his responsibility to provide the proper documentation these cars truly deserve. Further, this effort reinforces and supports the FIA’s efforts to verify the real cars and flushing out the 'fakes'. By raising these standards, I hope to continue to improve the credibility of this web site.
Just in case you are not familiar with the terminology, below are the definitions:
HERITAGE CERTIFICATE: A document difficult to acquire. One needs to provide the complete history of the car and an unbroken chain of ownership to certify this car as being the “real deal”.
HISTORICAL TECHNICAL PASSPORT (HTP): This is a much easier document to achieve. It merely confirms the car meets all the 'technical aspects' of the model it represents (example); taking into consideration all the factory original period correct race parts I have collected for my 1970 Porsche 914-6 GT project, once completed, my GT could apply and qualify for the "HTP", but it will never qualify for a "Heritage Certificate".
One last comment; Until the car's owner produces said "Heritage Certificate", I would simply state the following: “the owner claims this car as”, or “this is supported by”.
Enjoy!
