Hello
Thanks for all that.
I will explore further. I do have a record of 138987 as being in Australia,=
but its full chassis number is BN1L/138987.
NOJ 392 went back to the UK some years back.

Excellent detective work Harold...you must have good records According to m=
y list, if I use your findings; the car came from batch 4021 (62 cars). Th=
e following cars went to countries other than the US: Chassis138040 (29) t=
o Denmark, 138100 to Australia, 138987 (45) to Australia...all but 138100 w=
ere built prior to August 1953. The first car completed in the next batch 4=
284 (47 cars), was built on 8-12-53.
This may help Patrick to figure out where the plaque was originally assigne=
d, as 138987 is still in Australia and the whereabouts of 138100 is unknown=
and the Denmark car was built in December All the other cars came to the U=
S and probably had MPH speedometers and 28% overdrives. It would depend on =
what supplies were available on the shelf, at the time they were built.
There is a possibility that it was on one of the 4 test cars or AHX17; that=
they used for record setting. AHR6 (NOJ392)- test car- did eventually ship=
to Australia after some great history in the UK, and it is restored and ex=
isting there now. Hank

Patrick,
I have never seen that Brass Plaque before but I will suggest it could be v=
ery rare. This is what I think it is.
The car it came from is a Healey 100 BN1 with a Laycock de Normanville seri=
es 1260 overdrive and the 4 speed transmission from the A70/A90 with 1st ge=
ar blocked. The rear axle ratio is 8/33 (4.125 to 1) and the tires are Dunl=
op Road Speed. The chassis number of the car is prior to 140205 and the ca=
r was most likely built before August 1953. I suspect the car had a speedom=
eter in MPH but he car was exported to a country where the speed limits wer=
e in kilometres per hour.
According to the Clausager book only a handful of these cars were built wit=
h the 1260 overdrive and even fewer were exported to a country with km spee=
d limits.
I trust this helps,
Harold

Hello
I have been asked if I could identify this brass plaque.
While I recognise the script as the same as found on page A/5 in the 100 Se=

Anyone familiar with it?
