It was a milestone moment for Perkins, coming just a year after he had branched out to form his own team, Perkins Engineering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThis premium model authentically recreates that historic Commodore in striking detail.
