This diecast is part of the Bathurst Collection by Classic Carlectables. The James Hardie 1000 Bathurst of 1986 was as eventful as it was disappointing for Larry Perkins and David Parson. After qualifying for grid position four Perkins and Parsons had a dismal race day, finishing 25th outright. It was almost 1pm and by now the leaders had such a cushion of space that their pit stops weren’t disturbing their positions. David Parsons was in at 12.54.11, out at 12.54.49, Perkins aboard and fitted with fresh Dunlops and three churns of fuel without dropping a place. The Enzed Commodore arrived at its workshop at 1.14. Perkins felt a bearing might have run in the gearbox, and while they were fitting the new Getrag the crew was also checking the engine and changing brake pads. It would take 55 minutes and which would allow the car to run perfectly and see it through to the end of the race. The Enzed team had dropped to 39th place, or second last of the cars still running, and Perkins was desperately disappointed although they worked hard and secured themselves 25th outright.
