This is a 1:18 diecast scale model Holden Commodore ZB as driven in the 2023 Sandown Super2 Series round by Jack Perkins.
In 2022, Jack Perkins donned an awesome retro livery on his Holden VF Commodore when he raced at the Dunlop Super2 Series Sandown round and in 2023 he backed it up again, with a livery some may argue was even better!
Now racing a ZB Commodore, Jack was once again acknowledging the successful career of his father, Larry Perkins, in an impressive way, this time celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 1993 Bathurst 1000 win enjoyed by Larry and the late Gregg Hansford.
Featuring the iconic white, black, red and green Castrol livery with the sharp stripes flowing down the doors, the 2023 version was backed by Shaw and Partners again as they had done the previous year.
In an odd twist, Larry’s famous number 11 was featured on the doors and roof in acknowledgement of the livery it was paying tribute to, however the car was entered as #70 with the corresponding numbers on the windows. A bit of a confusing trap for young players!
Like the 2022 version, the significance of this livery and its execution will make for a very special model for collectors and fans of the rich racing history of the Perkins family.
This 1:18 scale model has been produced as a sealed body with clear windows and detailed interior in a limited edition of 222 with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
