Barkaways lead F40 parade at Silverstone Classic
Sunday 22nd July saw the 25th anniversary of the iconic F40 celebrated at the Silverstone Classic weekend. This memorable event bathed in sunshine was an amazing experience to be part of. Ian and Ben Barkaway had the privilege of leading the amazing spectacle of 60 F40's as part of the team that captured it all on film alongside Dave Marsh from MBCre8 Services who kindly provided the photos on our website. Fellow Kent FOC member and Barkaways customer Gary Brown had the opportunity to take his 360 out as a pace car and Peter Critchell Kent FOC Area Organiser joined both Ian and Gary in this honourable duty. Dave also arranged for a helicopter to take to the sky to capture the display. The whole parade was captured on video and Ian had the opportunity to interview proud F40 owners in the build-up to the parade. Footage courtesy of fGear will be available through our website shortly. Huge thanks go to Nigel and Shirley Chiltern-Hunt for organising such an incredible event. A massive congratulations to Peter & Suzanne Everingham Derek Seymour of the PHR Sandra Dent and the whole FOC team for successfully working with the owners to get cars in the right place at the right time. A brilliantly executed operation that made for some great photos and video. To see more photos of the event contact Dave Marsh at info@mbcre8.com."
