The first firm I worked for had 3, all 75's, non turbo and no power steering. Horrible things to drive but pretty economical and reliable.

My mums bloke used to have 3 of these but the boggo 75 for his courier business, fair play they did moon miles and rarely went wrong. He had a turbo one once but complained it used too much fuel All replaced by connects now though.

Nice. Could have been worse, could have been a Maestro van. Dad had a non-turbo one. Was dangerous!
