    Do any of you have experience with DK Engineering whether in purchasing a car from them or having Ferrari's serviced by them?
    Any insight and experiences with them would be appreciated whether positive or negative.
    Thank you!

    I've not purchased from DK but both my 430 and 612 are looked after by them and they do a great job. Very professional outfit with a real passion for Ferrari - classic and contemporary.

    I bought my F40 from a well known UK indie dealer. They had installed new tanks but the tanks were crap. It was my first F40 and I didn't know better.

    The car stank of fuel. It was a bomb on wheels. The dealer who sold me the car offered to look at it but I wasn't going to touch them again with a barge pole.

    Instead I spoke to DK, they were horrified with the other dealer's installation and at the awful quality of the crap UK made tanks. DK sorted new US made tanks and the car has been a dream since.

    I met David Cottingham over in blighty
    he was originally some sort of scientist, restored his own car
    quit being a scientist and went into restoration.
    Now he has two robust sons assisting him and I must say , sales wise,
    they are giving other exotic car dealers in the UK a run for the money.Plus they take their own cars out on the racetrack at Goodwood and give them a good caning.

    They just restored Earl's 275GTS which I am eager to video once it clears customs.

    So that's my two cents, great guys...

    purchased two cars from them, sight unseen, when I got there they were as described

    one of which they supplied full support for Goodwood, for me it was an arrive and drive experience

    cars were stored for a period as I'd hoped to use them again for another event

    DK then organized shipping and the cars showed up on time

    wonderful experience all around

    Hi Roma DK are one of the longest best Ferrari restorers and dealers around with a world wide reputation David and Kate are great supporters to the Ferrari v12 group in the uk and the Ferrari owners club. I can highly recommend them good honest people. Always worth a visit to see the amazing work they do. ( David also loves Jaguars as well so a good bloke I my book)

    Regards

    Sean
