Retired as a driver in 2003, but until 2013, he owned, ran and was senior engineer of his own Perkins Engineering firm. Now fully retired after selling both business and sporting divisions of the company, he will keep links to the sport but other than being a consultant to engineering and aviation businesses, he will spend time travelling in his motor homes, which he builds and restores. Although Larry was more than capable in single-seaters, winning the 1975 European Formula 3 title, it was as a touring car driver that he excelled, winning the Bathurst 1000km race in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1993, 1995 and 1997.
