face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff>The car it came from is a Healey 100 BN1 with a
<FONT size=5><FONT size=2>Laycock de Normanville</FONT> <FONT size=2>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.</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello</P>
<P> </P>I have been asked if I could identify this brass plaque.
<P> </P>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.
<P> </P>Anyone familiar with it?
