| Description |
1974 Jaguar E-type Group 44 Racing Car In 1974, Mike Dale of British Leyland Motor Inc, the Jaguar importer in the USA, decided to enter the E-type in the Class B production car championship of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Two independent companies were chosen to prepare and race the cars. Huffaker of California for the West Coast races and Group 44 of Virginia for the East Coast. Group 44, founded a decade earlier by Bob Tullius and Brian Fuerstenau, had an impressive list of victories, as well as ten national championships. The Huffaker car, driven by Lee Mueller, won its first race at Seattle in August 1974 while, at the same time the Group 44 car missed victory at Watkins Glen as the gearlever broke in Tullius's hand while he was in the lead. This setback was soon forgotten and the E-types swept all before them for the rest of the season, with Mueller scoring a total of three victories and Tullius five. In 1975, Tullius won seven races and took the SCCA Championship. By now, of course, the E-type was out of production and the stock of cars remaining in the USA had been sold off so the racing programme was concluded in 1975. Bob Tullius and Group 44 however continued their successful involvement with Jaguar, including with the specially-built XJR sports cars which contested American IMSA races and brought Jaguar back to Le Mans. Engine: V12 cyl, 5343cc Top Speed: 170mph (274km/h) Power: 460bhp Coachwork: two-seater sports Price New: not quoted Registration Mark: none |
