I presume Italy is the same for here in France, the fog light should be on the left. Having said that, ours is still on the right and it has passed three Control Techniques (6 years) without problem...you watch, big mouth will now get stopped! Oh, will I ever learn?

Just looked at my ex UK, now Italian registered, and I have 2 red lights at the back, the left is the reversing light and the right is the fog. I also still have 'UK' biased headlights and the car has been here for 6 years.

My Barchetta is now ready for Rome!! I would definitely recommend NJS Alfa Lancia Fiat Abarth specialists in Pershore near Worcester who have looked after my car!
Look forward to seeing some pics and hearing about the journey.

I will dont worry :0) There is a slight delay to my plans however..
I was due to finish work on 1st July with the intention being to leave for Rome asap.. Unfortunately I now need to resolve a medical condition (double vision) before leaving. Given I would have been incomeless, fortunately I have now had my contract extended to work for another 3 months. This in theory gives me some time to get my eyes sorted. I still also need to find a buyer for my 2007 Alfa Spider 2.4JTDM (Ive just spent £400 servicing/Mot the car and its already been on the market for many weeks!!) and also rent out my apartment. Its all quite frustrating..

Good luck for the future jetweed!
Did NJS do any work to prepare your B for driving abroad (i.e. swap headlights etc), or is this just a general recommendation?

Hi Jetweed....
I am a newbie here and have a 2000 Nero Seta Barchetta. I am an American with dual citizenship and live here in Italy. I wanted to get this out to you, however it won't be complete at the moment....but I will get back to provide all the information you will need to "Properly" register your Barchetta here in Italy. Italy handles Barchetta's totally different than elsewhere and it is important for you to know how to do it. There are two ways to do it. The first way is the way you are going which will cost you dearly......the second way is little known and will save you an enormous amount of money.......
In Italy Barchetta's are considered historic cars which means the car (and you) qualify for very special status.....it is not a slam dunk but requires you to make application to the national registry which requires a fee of course but will than have your car registered and listed with document for this special status. Cost is about 400 euro and that will include the new Italian title and plates.......
....after that occurs or at the same time ( a series of events) you will qualify for Historic Insurance in Italy...that translates to about 260 euro per year. That also means unlimited mileage and you can drive it as a daily driver like I do......
...and of course there are the Italian Barchetta clubs which I am sure you know all about......
In any event...you have time to start the process so that when you arrive your registration....title and insurance will all be taken care of.....
I will get back to you within the next 10 days...I will be leaving for Croatia (with the Barchetta) on Tuesday so I am really pressed for time at the moment....
Welcome to Italy.....and to some of the most fun roads to drive......
PS...BTW....I have a flavor for the British.......59 TR3A and 72 TR6 are brothers to my Barchetta............the 3 look great together.....

Ciao BarcItalia
I had seen on the Italian Barchetta site about the historic register, but my Italian isn't good enough to understand the page....
What is the general process of doing this?
