1:18 Scale. Perkins/Ingall Holden VS Commodore 1997 Bathurst Winner. 25 Th Anniversary Silver Livery.

The 1997 Primus Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar race was a classic, particularly given the emotion surrounding the first of Peter Brock’s numerous retirements of the record crowd cramming onto Mount Panarama to farewell him.  But through it all Larry Perkins and his team mate Russel Ingall in their Holden VS Commodore, had out-raced all opposition to clinch the Castrol Team’s third Bathurst 1000 win, in the last five starts.

Larry Perkins crossed the line in 6 hours, 21 minutes and 55 seconds, to take his sixth victory on the mountain. The 1997 Race would be Russel Ingall’s second victory at Mount Panarama and second with Perkins. The first in 1995 in a Holden VR Commodore.
