Does anyone know from what type of wood(if it’s wood) it’s made the commemorative wall-mounted presentation plaque ? Also from where i can buy it? I want to build my own display case but i want to match the colour, texture  and material/wood. Thanks in advance  Current build: E-type Jaguar

I'm sorry, I have no idea. I was unaware of the premium subscription when I initially signed up for this build and when I did find out, because I wanted the plaque and display case, I called and was told there is no premium subscription, whoever the woman was I spoke to had no idea what plaque or case I was talking about. That ruffled my feathers  . Really not pleased at this as I wanted the plaque and display case. Jax

I’m thinking to build my own display case that’s why I’m asking what type of wood they’ve used for the plaque Current build: E-type Jaguar

Its made of 16mm MDF, stained mahogany with a photo printed grain to the front. They have not bothered to stain the sides they are just left natural.
I would make a decent plaque out of a piece of solid mahogany or Sapele. It will be far better than Deagostini's attempt.

Why not just print my attached image on gloss photo paper, stick it to D/S tape, cut it out and stick it to the centre/front of your case base? A good size is 110mm x 30mm. Roy. roymattblack attached the following image(s):
