Glad you are enjoying your Bongo.
I miss mine but the running costs got too much for me as I do a lot of miles each year.
Can recommend Bongo Fury ..... Very Helpful site. [/IMG]
Isn't that a Ford Freda? Ford's badge-engineered version. Nice motors, even if they are a bit thirsty. Then again, they are as streamlined as a brick, and weigh around 2 tons, so what should we expect.
Great driving position, very comfortable, and a very roomy 8 seater when not converted.
Yep it was a Freda but I always refered to it as a bongo!
As you say a 2 ton box is never going to be economical and I really miss the driving position and the auto box but I was getting 20 mpg and maybe 25 on a run!!
My skoda never drops below 50 mpg so will have to stick with that for now ....... Although ive just been looking at bongos on autotrader and fleabay
It is a Bongo in all but name. If I had a Freda, I would have called it a Bongo too. That's what people know them as.
I got around 25mpg on average, which was a great improvement on my previous vehicle, a Toyota SpaceCruiser, which only did about 18mpg on a good day. I suppose it's an unfair comparison though, as the Toyota was petrol and the Bongo diesel. However, The Bongo had much better performance too, and it was bigger.
