[Fot] Group 44 Spitfire?

[DAVE HOGYE]

It looks like the car was once white as well as yellow.  I see white and yellow under the blue.  The rear fender wheel opening looks slightly flared too.  Interesting.

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.
