EXTERIOR
Finished in a gleaming coat of Pure White this lovely Bongo Friendee presents in exceptional order throughout. The paintwork is really well presented with no signs of any corrosion or signs of previous poor repair, and along both sides the body is lovely and straight. All the decals remain looking very fresh, as do all the seals, trims, glass, and lights. The electrically-operated pop-top works perfectly at the touch of a button and the underside of the vehicle is also notably fresh, the car having only arrived from the salt-free roads of Japan in late 2020.
INTERIOR
The immaculate grey velour provides a wonderful place sit, whether you’re out on the road or kicking back at your favourite camping destination. All the seats remain in amazing unworn condition, including the driver’s, with no marks or discolouration to any of the upholstery. The carpets are also immaculate and are still protected in the footwells by an original set of Bongo Friendee overmats. Clearly a cherished example, the plastic trims are almost entirely free from any marking, the leather steering wheel is pristine, and the headlining is perfect. Being really picky there is a small pen mark on the driver’s door but otherwise the interior is stunning. Raising the pop-top gives additional headroom and reveals a cosy place to sleep, again all in amazing condition.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The 2-litre engine fires into life first turn of the key and, paired with a silken automatic gearbox, gives very smooth performance indeed. The accompanying service booklet shows the car to have been well maintained in Japan, which is also evident from its amazing condition. The most recent service was carried out in February this year at 76, 988km / 47, 838 miles and it included a cambelt change for the new keeper’s peace of mind. A new AC pully was also fitted in February ensuring that all passengers can remain cool this summer.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The Bongo sits on a very smart set of 16-inch Mazda alloys finished in dark grey. None of the wheels show any signs of curb marking or wear, and all are shod in a matching set of Bridgestone Turanza tyres with ample tread left at each corner.
HISTORY FILE
This outstanding low mileage example was first registered in February 2001; it has now driven just 48k miles from new. Having resided on the salt-free roads of Japan until late 2020 the car remains in excellent rust-free condition throughout, and the UK V5C shows only 1 former keeper. The current owner had a full service and cambelt change done in February this year, and there is also service history from when the car was in Japan. The original maintenance booklet and owner’s manuals are all present in the history file, along with a handful of invoices and all the import documents.
Worldwide shipping is available on request.
