Again:
Can those be brought to the US?
What is it's weight limit for towing?
Smog issues?
Import Issues?
Parts and support issues?

What is the range in US dollars to purchase one in Europe?
Poor condition? - average condition? - mint condition?

It's probably very affordable in Italy. It looks like a small-business daily-hauler according to the photo.
I doubt you can import one. While I don't know the age limit to import cars into the U.S., I doubt this complies with it. Since they were never sold in the U.S., you'd have an interesting time trying to import one.

Weight limit, I have no idea. Look up data for the Citroen C25 or the first generation Fiat Ducato, it'd give you a very good idea. On that note, parts: it was available with the same drivetrains as the Fiat Ducato and those things are everywhere so in Italy, you wouldn't have an issue with parts. And, the body is identical to the C25, the Ducato, the Talbot Express and the Peugeot J5 so body parts are plentiful which is good seeing how horribly dented these usually are.

Value isn't the issue really, the Citroen/Fiat versions of it aren't worth anything, I have no reason to believe these are. Same thing with the Talbot version they sold in the UK. What is an issue is finding one-- they were only sold on the Italian market where most people bought the Fiat Ducato. They're far from common.
