Does anybody know if there exists an account of the life and times of Bob Tullius? The sports car sections of 1980's Autocourse and Automobile year are full of pictures of immaculately turned out Jaguar XJS's and sports prototypes in a white land green livery devoid of any serious sponsorship. All his cars unfailingly bearing the race number 44. It seems incredible that nobody has made a reccord of the achievements of this man and his team.

Bob was of course an agent for various parts of British Leyland - notably Jaguar. I saw a photo of a racing Metro in G44 colours - yes, really! - a few weeks ago. Probably on Facebook.

There is a book about his Group 44 Jaguars. See here:

But did not read it, so no idea about its value.
