No, but you're thinking along the right lines. Commonwealth country.

Yes! As for the Maserati ancestry, I don't know much about the car at all, but I doubt it very much. Much more basic.

Good question, because the answer is no. I don't know because of the scant information I have. This one is going to take quite a bit of detective work to solve,
