Group 44 Jaguar XJS History

A Jaguar XJS Group 44 tribute allows enthusiasts to capture the spirit of one of the most successful programs in SCCA Trans-Am history. Original Group 44 race cars are extremely rare, often residing in museums or commanding substantial prices at auction, making a professionally built tribute a compelling alternative.

The Bob Tullius Legacy

Bob Tullius founded Group 44 and campaigned the Jaguar XJS in its famous green-and-white Quaker State livery. During the 1978 Trans-Am season, Tullius drove the #44 Jaguar to seven consecutive victories, securing both the Driver's and Manufacturer's Championships.

The Group 44 Jaguar XJS became one of the most iconic race cars of its era, helping establish Jaguar's dominance in the SCCA Trans-Am Series during the late 1970s.
