Group 44

When I was a teenager growing up in Southern California, once a month (or so), the TSOA (Triumph Sportscar Owners Association) newsletter would arrive in the mailbox. For a young man growing up in the SoCal car culture of the ‘60s the TSOA newsletter was as salacious a publication as could be had—often filled with the racing exploits of Bob Tullius and the other Group 44 drivers.

I’ve been blessed with the assistance of former Group 44 team member Steve Knoll in getting the details as close to right as we can. The Group 44 illustrations are made possible by his recollections and those of many other Group 44 alumni, as well as his valuable photographic library from those heady racing days. A huge “thank you” to Steve and his pals for helping me to faithfully reconstruct these cars from my youth. Coming in 2020, you can catch a full-sized version of the TR4A as part of the upcoming Nation of Speed exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

Group 44 Triumph TR250

$329.00

When I was teenager growing up in Southern California, once a month (or so), the Triumph Sportscar Owners Association newsletter would arrive in the mailbox. For a young man growing up in the SoCal car culture of the 60s the TSOA was a salacious a publication as there was—often filled with the racing exploits of Bob Tullius and his other Group 44 drivers. I learned to drive in a ’61 TR3 that my dad owned (red on red w/overdrive) and with every story of Bob winning a race or championship I imagined myself up on the wheel of my own TR, dueling with all of those foolish enough to challenge my imagined dominance on the track. Alas, while I may have turned a few hot laps in my day, they were nothing compared to the racing perfection of the Group 44 cars.

Group 44 Triumph TR8

$329.00

Built over the course of just a few months, the Group 44 Triumph TR8 was an immediate success, winning the 1979 Watkins Glen endurance race by a handy 13 laps. This, after just two previous days of tracking testing and 10 hours in a wind tunnel. The following year, Bob Tullius and Bill Adam wheeled the TR8 to a GTO class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Currently under the stewardship of Mr. Bill Warner (of Amelia Island Concours fame), the TR8 is still being raced regularly in vintage events.
