The firm I worked for had a couple of the smaller Turbodaily vans back in 1988/89. Suffered from the usual Italian vehicle problems (electrical niggles, curse word quality interiors and...worst of all...tinworm) but willing mechanicals and from memory pretty nice to drive.
IIRC the TurboZeta had a 4-litre 120bhp 4-pot turbodiesel which was fitted to early low-spec 75E12 EuroCargos as well. We did try EuroCargos with that engine in but at 7.5t they were bloody useless on the motorway so we went for the bigger 75E15 143bhp 6-pot lumps instead. Popular with motocrossers in the 90s for their cavernous interiors, I'm surprised they never really caught on in the UK, as they could be driven on a car licence (and still can provided you passed your Driving Test before 31-1-1997).

My uncle used to have one of those Zetas and some turbodaily's, worked them all to death delivering mushrooms! They seemed to go pretty well as was said already and solid mechanicals but loved to rust. There's one in this video. WARNING, mad northern Ireland people content, also male  nudity very early in it, but it does contain an Iveco and some old vans/4x4s |
