Group 44's Triumph cars were always white with black numbers, later ones (Quaker State sponsorship) with a green stripe. To my knowledge, they never raced a blue car with a number ball. They normally ran number 44 or 4, occasionally 41 if there was a number conflict, but with their own distinctive trademark numerals (with rounded corners). And the number on the back deck was always backwards.
BTW, the Spitfire pictured below was John Kelly's 1973 National Champion car.

Is there a stamped roll bar number registered with the SCCA?

I've got a buddy in Oklahoma that bought a collection of crusty Triumphs including a Spitfire racer that supposedly is a Group 44 car. Any ideas how this claim could be verified? Photos attached.

Thanks,
