2003 Holden Commodore VY V8 Supercar - Perkins Engineering Castrol Racing Livery - Last Bathurst Perkins Drive
This VY Commodore is also a special one in the Perkins Engineering story as it was Larry’s last Bathurst 1000 racer and son Jack’s first. Perkins decided to call time on his driving career after crashing in practice for the 2003 Great Race, in which he went on to finish fourth alongside lead driver Steven Richards.
Richards had debuted this machine midway through 2003 and it continued as one of PE’s race cars through 2006, when Perkins endured a Bathurst baptism of fire. Making his Great Race debut in the squad’s second car, Perkins slammed into the back of Mark Skaife’s ailing HRT Commodore on the opening lap.
This car was retained by PE upon the sale of the team to the Kelly family and was also the subject of a lengthy in-house restoration completed in 2020. MCW added the car to its collection in 2023.
YTG have now sold this iconic piece of supercar history to a private collector and will keep the fans updated for the cars appearances and track outings.
