[Healeys] Brass Plaque

[Harold Manifold]

Patrick,
 
I have never seen that Brass Plaque before but I will suggest it could be
very rare. This is what I think it is.
 
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.
 
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.
 
I trust this helps,
 
Harold

I've never seen one of these, but I've made similar when my speedometer was
acting up.

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
Service Manual and page 22 of the Owner's Handbook, I have never seen the
plaque before. 

 

Anyone familiar with it?
