Lovely dog

Great to see the F1 race worn Rotary Watches Stanley-B.R.M. helmet there in the P207

If I had LP looking after my 'race torana' I would be wining more than I am now! What a legend. Please keep delivering amazing videos. 70s 80s 90s Bathurst ftw.

Nothing better than Bathurst history from the master himself LP.

I'm sure your running a hi revving diff hear than you & Greg had in 93. Wouldn't be surprised if you've used a 253 block for less weight coz from what I understand 308-253 difference in the wall thickness in the motor casting

Can I have a go please Larry. Promise I won't do any damage yer. Hope you fix the tacho & temp gauge before I have a few laps.

Larry’s my 3rd favorite driver after (brocky and dicky boy of course) such a legend

Where do you get the alloy filter mounts from? I cannot find them anywhere. Most places I just get a blank look when I ask for them. Thanks.

I've seen these Transporters many a time over the country of Old school cars being transported. From the 19th GT Nationals at Bathurst , to Hidden Valley Raceway in the NT. I've never asked the question. But how do you guys know when its in position on the loader to not take it over the edge up top fellas ?

GEEZ LAZZA, the smile on your face tells a thousand stories matey. Good on ya mate. So much history there in this car and you are no doubt super proud to have her back up and going mate. Love it 250 % well done.

LP's smile when it fires up is memorably exciting to watch loving watching LP and yourself bring back a Race Car that Larry would have a lot of memories invested in, So humble to watch you as his son see this dream progress into reality for BOTH of YOU guys.

Bloody Legend LP. I bet this vehicle brings back many many memories of racing the Rallye for you Legend. Jack , you must be so so proud of the Old Boy to get in and have an honest hard crack punching out the resto on an iconic racecar your Father Raced all them years ago in an Iconic Race that sadly no longer exists and is now only memories to the few that Raced it aswell as us old buggers that watched it in Awe mate. LP & Jack, A TRUE PIECE OF MOTORING HISTORY IN THE RACE CAR WORLD RIGHT THERE Well done legends, absolutely love it.

Absolutely loving this footage of LP's VW Jack. Not to mention the Old Boy wearing the Legendry Boiler suit Overalls which I grew up with as a kid entering the workforce wearing back in the day of my trade / Apprentice days. Great footage guys , keep us all updated on the Beetle Please.

What area is the Farm guys and what are you growing on it ?

I bet Larry still fits in all that gear too

Que motor tiene para que corre asi amigo

Larry Perkins the legend, in more ways than one, congratulations Larry, thanks for the memories.

☝️💪🇦🇺☝️💪🇦🇺☝️💪🇦🇺

Nice video, next time can you tell us some specs of the engine- ie comp ratio , valve sizes and exhaust diameters . Love to know how he got 500+hp out of a 5ltr . Great work

Hey mate what's the model of that saas sest was is a one off

Really nice to see another car in the mix, I was only a year old when the VL road car started production 😂 Go get em in the enduros with JC and Snowy River

Bloody epic!

Wasn't the Tom Walkinshaw "bum drag" at Bathurst '88 caused by rear suspension binding causing a breakage? This after the Brits supposedly ignored the Australian advice?

So runs a ford diff and still has a shity Centre bearing in the tail shaft still just a crumble door shitbox

Nah thank you for what ya do jack. These old cars have a soul exactly what the new cars don’t have! 👍

The shirt is too white😂, I've got one, scared to wear it😂 great gear tho!

I could watcht these detail video`s all day long, and then not get anything done in my own garage :) Thankyou again. Love it.

What's the size of the rod end bearings on the suspension rods?

That's a ripper , that really shows how much engineering was in them in that era thanks to your Dad . I'm assuming front callipers are Harrop too. Thanks Jack look forward to next episode.

did pe010 ever run the compressed air jacking system (where the cut outs are on the side skirt)? i thought i noticed threaded holes up there as you looked underneath it

Is it true that the VP 5Lt engines did have a LP letters welded to the back of the block, just asking as there's rumors that Larry Welded his LP initials on the blacks he used for the engines he had etc. 👌✌👍🦘

Absolutely love it

As I have mentioned on a previous video, I met your Dad on one occasion many years ago when he presented his view on what high reliability looks like. I have never forgotten that meeting and the inspirational way your father spoke about machinery in general, he inspired me to be the valued "hands on" Engineer I am now, thank you Larry. So glad the "acorn didn't fall far from the tree", good on ya Jack, great video as usual.

Looking great Jack! Interesting setup of the RARB and 3 link......

Didn't this car get prorested in 92 in qualifying because teams couldn't believe the turn of speed it generated and in the top ten the tv commentator made a comment about it being an old car and he quipped "its pretty new under the bonnet!"

This came up in my feed today, I had to watch it. I met LP a few times when the ATCC came to Lakeside in the late 80's and early 90's as a child. Good video Jack!

Thanks Jack, great. Was the VL body more slippery than the later cars or does it just look that way?

I want one of those cross ram manifolds for my Holden V8.🔥

Good to see under the old girl. You still have the old vl motor lying around? Maybe, if your not to busy, a vl commodore replica in castrol colours you could build?

As someone who stills plays in car clubs with these early model Commodores it would have been nice to see more detail of how the K-frame was " modified" to accept the adjustable radius rod instead of the normal Z style bar and the lower control arms.

Love seeing the old L.P cars from the day. Being a vw guy, love to see more of Larrys Beetle

Thoroughly enjoyed this Jack, reinforced what a powerhouse Perkins Engineering is in our motorsport history. Also obvious how your knowledge is expanding - you know these rockets inside and out!

Jack has taken the time to reply to most of these comments, folks. Please like the comments & replies to help YT promote this video. The more interest we can attract to our sport, the longer we can keep it alive before bureaucratic grubs smother it with dreary electric junk.

I love the cooler designs and arrangements PE has designed.

The engineering & detail is truly amazing under there! Thanks for showing.

Any man with a heartbeat loves the VL Walkinshaw. Awesome hot rod Jack

Awesome

It's interesting that the VN Group A didn't have a front undertray.

Jack - great video as always. Quick one - on these restored rockets, are they covered in PPF so they can run again on track?
