On the front is a representation of the XJR 12 with the phrase "1st and 2nd Le Mans 24 hrs. 1990" and on the back, a representation of craftsmen at work and the phrase "In Appreciation of a Job Well Done." The whole mounted in a blue presentation case with the message printed on the inside of the lid "With my personal thanks and best wishes for a job well done - Tom." This superb piece was only presented to members of the TWR team that contributed to the 1990 Le Mans victory. It is the first I have seen on the open market. The medal is Fine, nr.
