One possibility is to contact the Heritage Motor Centre in the UK
<http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/archive/certificate/default.htm>. They
hold production records and, for around $50, can provide original build
specification and (usually) destination of the car. If Triumph had arranged for
this particular car to have been sold/shipped directly to Group 44, it might
indicate that in the records.
Otherwise, maybe Mike Cook would know if there are any records of Group 44
around and accessible?
