I am afraid 025 is the type number and not the chassis number. Tyrrell raced 5 examples of the 025:

					Verstappen	  Salo

1   Melbourne	   02			  03

2   Brazil		  02			  03

3   Argentina	   02			  03

4   San Marino	  02			  03

5   Monaco		  02			  03

6   Spain		   04			  03

7   Canada		  04			  03

8   France		  04			  03

9   Great Britain   04			  03

10  Germany		 04			  01

11  Hungary		 04			  01

12  Belgium		 04			  01

13  Italy		   04			  03

14  Austria		 04			  05

15  Luxembourg	  04			  05

16  Japan		   01			  05

17  Europe		  03			  05

Chassis 02 was more or less written off after Jos had a big shunt in Qualifying at Monaco. Chassis 01 was nominally the test/spare car and was used in pre-season testing, although why Salo used in in Germany, Belgium and Hungary escapes me. Chassis 03 is the famous one that Salo finished 5th in at Monaco after running a non-stop race. Tora Tagaki was Tyrrell's test driver in 1997 - essentially part of PIAA's sponsorship with the team. He and Harvey Postlewaite spent most of the season using sign language to communicate, because Tagaki spoke almost no English.

Thanks a lot!
I don't know where to find the chassis number but I will try to know what is this number!

Do you have information about electronics, dash board (now a Pi system 2), gear box, engine (V8 cosworth) engine management ...

FWIW I tried to buy one off Paul Stoddart on late 2001, but I couldn't get the money together to purchase it.
It's the only F1 car with a big enough cockpit for me to fit into as I'm fairly tall.

Well I got a picture of me in the car anyway.
