Servicing and repairs, in-house bodywork and paintwork, award winning restorations and sales

Many of you will recognise FOC member Ian Barkaway as a familiar face around concours lawns, track day pit lanes and Ferrari Owners' Club events. Ian's passion for Ferrari goes back to 1986 when he moved from Rolls Royce, where he had been an apprentice and technician, to work at a local Ferrari specialist. His career progressed and he achieved success in both managerial and technical roles within both the Ferrari dealer network and specialist operations. In recent years Ian's restoration work has been very much admired, and owners have been invited to display their cars (and his work) in world class events such as the Salon Prive Concours d'Elegance, London, Fȇte Champȇtre at the Hurlingham Club, London and the Ferrari Owners' Club national concours. Ian has been involved with many projects across a variety of tipos including ; Ferrari Boxers, Ferrari 246 Dinos, Ferrari 288 GTOs, Ferrari 250 GT Lusso and Ferrari 328s, all of which have gone on to win a variety of awards including Fȇte Champȇtre Car of the Day award for the last three consecutive years with three different cars, four class accolades at the Ferrari Owners' Club concours in different classes, and three best of show awards at other events. There are also cars successfully campaigning on race circuits around Europe with engines and gearboxes that Ian has built. In response to Ferrari owners' demand for his skills, Ian has now opened Barkaways, his own specialist Ferrari operation. Barkaways is located just outside Tonbridge in Kent and has a dedicated team with a simple philosophy, to help you to enjoy your Ferrari. You may only need a simple service, or a full restoration but Ian maintains that it is vital that the owner is involved in the process and they enjoy the journey.

The Concurso de Elegancia Costa del Sol is an invitation-only gathering for collectors and connoisseurs of extraordinary automobiles, where design, craftsmanship and culture take center stage in Marbella, Spain.

Following on from Salon Privé, Ben was on the judging panel for this multi-day event, tasked with finding the best of the best among a spectacular showcase of classic, modern and hypercars. 📝

Beyond a concours, it is a social gathering, where guests come together to celebrate automotive authorship and the Mediterranean and Andalusian lifestyle, including a private track day at Ascari Club Circuit.

The 3500 GT was Maserati's first road car built in ‘large’ numbers after withdrawing from race car production in 1957 - it's 3.5 litre straight six engine was therefore derived from the Maserati 350S endurance race car. The elegant design was the creation of coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring, with 937 GTs produced in total.

This early example complete with triple Weber carbs and a 4-speed gearbox is now available at Barkaways, seen here next to a rarer RHD example that we previously restored to concours condition.
