The first Perkins customer VL was the O'Brien car, and they ran the Calder split track round in it.

Bill O'Brien ran it for a few seasons, updating it to VL TWR Batmobile spec at one stage, before on selling it to Chris Smerdon, who eventually had Perkins take most of the running gear out of it and build it into the VP that ran with Smerdon/McConville in 1993.

The remnants of the VL, an old Dodge truck and some other bits were onsold to someone in Tassie, who as you suggest filled it with other bits... so the VL shell remains, just not with the Group A bits under it

Judging by that pic, you guys have a bit of work to do....
