Both cars look bloody awesome. I love that you are doing this Jack. Not only would it mean so much to your Dad but it means a lot to us motor racing enthusiasts to preserve these iconic cars.
Cheers Graham
Totally brilliant Jack....absolute credits to Perkins Engineering 👍
The attention to detail is simply breathtaking 👌
The 1993 car has to be one of my favourite race cars. Great job with the restoration.
Many thanks!!
Excellent attention to detail and the results show it!

One of my all time favourite Commodores. Loved the Perkins race cars. Always looked so good and went well when it counted.
Cheers David!
Well done Perkins family, the VP and 90’s era of V8 Supercars was my fav! 👌🏻👍🏻🇦🇺

Incredible work. I am loving this series Jack.
Cheers David!
Been great watching these cars get restored the attention to detail is something else well done
Just beautiful. Great work by all involved.
Incredible, awesome job, to even replicate the little nuances of wobbly stickers, fantastic !
LP must be so proud of you and the job you've done. Keep up the good work and informative videos.
Thank you...
The work gone into these is amazing, so much attention to detail, love it. Thanks for sharing 🤙
Great to see Gregg Hansford's name on the car. One of Australia's greatest riders and drivers. I was a big fan when he was on bikes, but didn't get to see him in car racing.
Yeah so good, he won Bathurst on a bike and in a car!
Well done Jack
Cheers Lindsay
One word! WOW.
Cheers Roy
Excellent job, like going back in time 👌🏻👌🏻
Cheers Glenn
Loving the attention to detail guy’s… keep up the great work 👍🏼
Jack the cars are just awesome , all the work that has gone into them and the attention to detail. I think you and your dad should be very proud. I love the shape of the VR/VS Commodores
there the best looking race cars of all .
Cheers Ross, we love the VP shape, most of them got converted to VR/VS so there's not many VP's around!
So beautiful
Cheers
absolute works of art... the attention to detail is spot on...
Bloody brilliant job from all involved... You are a chip off the old block Jack... Keep up the good work.
Cheers Brett
What a testament to your desire to have these period perfect. Well done to you and those that support the process with their skills. So good to still have the original sign writers able to be part of the restoration. Love the segments and yours and dads down to earth realism.
Cheers George
They look fantastic!
Impressive work in the research and application of the livery. Incredible that you would go to so much effort to replicate everything in such detail. Great job!
Cheers
Very, VERY nice. A credit to you all👍
Seriously impressive, I'm a graphic designer and the attention to detail is 100% can see Perkins Engineering becoming a major restoration business of old V8Supercars for many many years to come.
Looks absolutely fantastic
You all have done such a great job and to see it doing some laps again will be so good 👍👍
Great job of everything Jack.
me and my old man always spoke about how we loved the 1993 bathurst 1000 for the fact that Larry ran the aussie holden v8 rather then the chev which everyone else ran . He smashed it ,ran like clockwork all day typical Larry Perkins engineering . love the cars well done . cheers chris
Congratulations on the superb job on the cars Jack. My favourite being the 93 VP from the era when owing, managing, engineering, building, driving and winning was the ultimate achievement in Supercars,
Nice job 👍
Cheers
The cars look mint, great job Perkins Engineering 👍🏻
WOW! Great work guys..
Cheers Peter
She's just as beautiful now as she was back then !
I would love to see LP take her out for a spin at Bathurst !
I would love to see all the Bathurst winning cars do a lap or two each year to pay homage to those that have passed and to respect to where Australian motorsport came from.
Yes we are hoping to get it back to Bathurst if not next year, 2023 would be special! Cheers
Great stuff again can’t be to far off finishing them both looks great bet Dad can’t wait to drive them
Yes getting close, still need to get the 93 Holden Engine to the dyno, lockdown not helping! Cheers
That is something else Jack! I wouldn't want to get them dirty. Loving the t shirt👌
Dude they look Epic! Fantastic attention to detail! Love it!
Cheers Leo
Credit to you jack job very well done
Cheers
Great stuff Jack, I still say these were the best looking cars on the track in their day and still look fantastic today 👍
Fantastic Jack, well done..
Throw the TV out,this has more positive and truth in it than any news channel,sit in a glass shell in the sunken lounge it would be a pleasure to watch in awe.
Haha cheers!!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
STUNNING
Awesome work Jack, we all know how proud you are of Larry for everything he has achieved. I am also sure he is equally proud of you for what you are achieving in your career, your a credit to him mate👍
Cheers Paul
G'Day Jack, ....Fuggin awesome Brother....seriously awesome....
Being a signwriter myself Jack, this is absoultely brilliant!!! The attention to detail is incredible. Well done to Peter and yourself to be so pedantic. An absolute credit to you all.
You are my favourite you tube channel as it reminds me of the best years of Aust touring cars. The highlight being your dad beating all the feild with that last holden 304 at Bathurst. For me that race was the high point of aust motorsport. Cant wait for you to talk to Larry about that... BTW I subscribe to many motoring YT channels.
Jack you presented this episode perfectly. Keep doing wat u do. For me, the best part of this episode was Larry grinning from ear to ear next to the car at the end shot..
That car is one of the sexiest car on the grid. And still to this day!
😃fantastic👍🏾
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job.
Thanks!
You know whats next, Jack! Track/Cub days! Don't leave them as museum queens.
We need to finish them first!
Dear Jack, this video is a great improvement on the one on drivelines I commented on before, the planning and care for detail is apparent, you are showing us all the things you need us too see and are very natural and obviously proud of your teams recreation of these historic Vehicles. This is is exactly what you should be aiming for in tone style and content. The Photo of you and Larry at the end is a great touch as it has the lovely feeling of a “Hey Dad, get over here” type of shot, unplanned and full of the moment.
Great work, very impressed..
Cheers Hugh, these photos are featured in the PE Book :)
Ive been waiting for this episode, you guys are awesome :)
Cheers
Very nice work, stunning. The result of all of your blood, sweat and tears cones to fruition. Good feeling eh?
Yes still lots to do to finish the cars, but now they look ready to hit the track!
Well done Jack and your partners what an awesome job!!!! Hopefully us fans will get to see it in person one day?. If you take the last picture of the vid with you and your old man and make a poster out of it I’ll buy one!.
Cheers
Mint jack 👍
Cheers Les
The attention to detail of all the restorations is very impressive Jack. Well done to everyone involved.
Cheers Browndog!
Great work as always Jack the Cars look great cheers Mick.
Awesome JP, you are doing yourself proud! The best era of the sport being bought back to life, best cars and drivers.
Cheers Mark
WOW The level and attention to detail has blown me away. Do they leak water in the boot like both my VP'S😂
haha not sure, too scared to take them outside!
I bleed blue but I have to admit these era perkins commodores were some of the best looking race cars
Cheers Adam
They both look amazing and the attention to detail is incredible. A real credit to you.
Cheers MJ
Absolutely magnificent job jack. Gregg would be proud of the work being put into his and larrys car!
Cheers Tony, we still keep in touch with Gregg's sons Rhys and Ryan and they are very happy with how the cars are looking
Love the fact that this car is in the Holden Motorsport Edition of Monopoly!
Cheers David!!
The attention to detail is unreal, your dad must be so proud! Great work from the Perkins team and suppliers.
Cheers Nathan
Massive respect for the work you have put into getting every detail right jack.
Cheers Ricky
Great job Jack and thanks for keeping a great era of racing alive. Being a similar age to you the cars of the 90s and 00s have a big place in my heart.
Cheers Jord!!
Was so cool seeing these Castrol 11 rigs racing around! Great to see them resurrected.
Cheers
Amazing pieces of history, brilliant
Cheers Aaron
An absolute credit to your work ethic and eye for detail! I would say it looks a million bucks but even that would be an understatement on the incredible job you have done!
Cheers Cam!!
Freaken love Castrol era cars thanks Jack :D
Absolutely awesome work Jack! Can’t wait to see these beasts back out on the track again. Driving the 93 car around Bathurst in 2023 is sure gonna be a special moment for you.
wow what a amazing looking pair of cars, your attention to detail is amazing and it shows. great job Jack
Cheers Craig
Look absolutely killer Jack. Done a amazing job! Hopefully I will be able to see these in person one day.
Cheers Kyle
Legendary
Cheers
The cars look beautiful, amazing detail.
Cheers Clint
Cherry ripe VP, super.
Cheers
Jack - great work, another great production - so much detail and memories- thank you.
Cheers David
This will be a good one VP thanks Jack and Larry for winning in it. VP is such an underrated looking commodore in my opinion always overlooked .
100%, great looking cars! First with the big rear wings
The cars look amazing Jack. What a super job and thanks for the wonderful memories of watching them go around . Great stuff, keep it up.
Cheers
Fantastic! It's also interesting that the livery can change from race to race. I have noticed that even with the Perkins cars some of the stripes on the doors don't line up because the door was changed. Probably because of damage or being striped for another car.
Yes the attention to detail back then was probably not as high as it is now with the non performance stuff like stickers!
Absolutely stunning!! 🤩 Perfection is the correct term here Jack. Well don’t mate and look forward to seeing them in person hopefully at an historic event somewhere soon.
Fingers crossed!
o0o0o0o0o0o production quality has gone up a notch or two! noice wun bruvva!
Fantastic, bloody brilliant, honestly I take my hat off to you Jack and everyone involved from the sign writers to to the mechanics. I only have one question and that’s where can I get a set of the wheels 😂
The cars look amazing, awesome attention to detail. Would love to see them in the flesh one day. A credit to all involved. Great job!🤙
Mint.
Cheers
Wow jack the cars look amazing so shiny and good looking one of the best vp commodores from 1993 supercars and the two cars at the front genuinely look like different cars and that really surprised me when I saw the photos at the end
They should look pretty damn close!!
@@perkinsengineering yes they do but I did notice a difference between the two
Outstanding attention to detail. These cars have so much more character then the super cars of today. Do you plan to race these cars again? It would be a shame to leave these beauties under covers.
Brilliant stuff,brings back good memories of when Aussie motor racing was at its peak.
Wow …. Just wow 😮
Both of them have been done to perfection 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Why did the 93 car have a rounded and square number back grounds on the same car ?!? Was there a door replacement during practice or qualifying?!? Either way hats off to you !! Absolutely stunning 😍
It's a good question! Even the sign writer from the day was confused but the photos from the event don't lie! So we have done absolutely everything we can to re-create exactly what was on the track in 93 and 94!
Great work Jack. That Castrol livery was and still is the greatest ever applied to any race car. It was applied to winning vehicles such as Larry's and to the 57 chev of Victor Bray.
I was lucky enough to spend time in the pits at the 94 Sandown as a guest beside that vehicle and with yourself.... you were only 7yo!
Cheers Adrian! Yes Victor's car looked ace too
