Boy, that does look really nice. Hope you have a lot of fun with it. Was the lifting roof fitted as part of the conversion?

There must be a lot of us wondering what to do if Bongy has to make that final journey to the 'Big campsite in the sky'.

Similar in size to the bongo but without the centre consol so feels much more spacious and easier to fit the rotating seats.
Happy camping =D>

Are they a bit wider than a Bongo? Been looking at them on t'internet and they seem nice, though not cheap compared to what i have and love. I'd miss the distinctive Bongo styling, convenience of electric blinds, AFT, narrowness and ease of everyday commuting use, and MPV usefulness of my unconverted one. But if i was taking to the open road seriously, it'd be a very good candidate. Should i go for petrol or diesel - that is the question :roll:

Nice inside and out and looks very clean. I am not keen on the how the front look myself. Back looks ok though. Have a good time.
