In this case, the plaque is from a specific Austin Healey. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#6FC040'>Several Healeys and Austin Healeys have been eligible for this award, but for Austin Healeys, the stand‐out would have to be two Austin Healey 100’s that finished the 1953 24‐hour race in 12th & 14th place. A remarkable result for a new sports car that had only recently been released to the public. This result did much to bolster sales of the 100. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#6FC040'>The photo shows the plaque awarded to NOJ 392, the Austin Healey that achieved 12th place, averaging a very respectable 144.15 kph (89.59 mph) and covering 3,462 Kilometres (2,151 miles) in the 24 hours. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#6FC040'>In recognition of this feat, the Healey Museum has commissioned a ‘Museum’ key fob replicating the award design.
