NEW USA EXPAT OWNER LIVING IN MODENA, ITALY

[Paul Modena]

After about three months' time waiting for the seller to return to Italy from a work obligation overseas, we finally closed the deal on the SE on Thursday the 11th in Sarnico. My wife and I booked a lovely B&B for the night at an agriturismo, and headed back to Modena (180 km distant) on Friday. The car is an '88 SE, shows ~3000 miles, well-constructed (factory job?), and drove and ran flawlessly.

 

Thanks to seller Fabio, who was friendly, cheerful, and patient. This was a painless transaction!!

 

Now I have four cars and only a two car garage. Our flawless '03 BRG Jag X Type will have to go with only 76K on the clock.

The Westie will share garage space with my '08 Quattroporte while the Glamour Red '06 S-Type "R" is relegated to street parking.

 

This is already looking like fun--too much fun for a 75-year-old California transplant?  
 

Nope. Don't call me Gramps, OK?

Welcome to the club!  There might be another American ex-pat in the club, I’m not sure, might be just a vicious rumour…😇

 

Lovely part of the world and great driving roads, a bit jealous.  Plus the history of supercars on your doorstep! (Calling @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman to the thread…)

 

Make sure to tell us all about your car, you’ve found a great support network.  Enjoy!

Welcome Paul!

Great to see another person with a Quattroporte and Westfield in partnership. That means there's at least two of us!!!

Take a photo of the Westie outside the Maserati factory. I'd love to see that, but can never imagine driving mine all the way from the UK to achieve it.
