Excellent detective work Harold...you must have good records According =
to my list, if I use your findings; the car came from batch 4021 (62 =
cars). The following cars went to countries other than the US: =
Chassis138040 (29) to Denmark, 138100 to Australia, 138987 (45) to =
Australia...all but 138100 were built prior to August 1953. The first =
car completed in the next batch 4284 (47 cars), was built on 8-12-53.
=20
This may help Patrick to figure out where the plaque was originally =
assigned, 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 US 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.
=20
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 existing there now. Hank=20

Patrick,
=20
I have never seen that Brass Plaque before but I will suggest it could =
be very rare. This is what I think it is.
=20
The car it came from is a Healey 100 BN1 with a Laycock de Normanville =
series 1260 overdrive and the 4 speed transmission from the A70/A90 with =
1st gear blocked. The rear axle ratio is 8/33 (4.125 to 1) and the tires =
are Dunlop Road Speed. The chassis number of the car is prior to 140205 =
and the car was most likely built before August 1953. I suspect the car =
had a speedometer in MPH but he car was exported to a country where the =
speed limits were in kilometres per hour.
=20
According to the Clausager book only a handful of these cars were built =
with the 1260 overdrive and even fewer were exported to a country with =
km speed limits.
=20
I trust this helps,
=20
