Not the oldest but makes me want to look after it and get it pristine all the more. My Bongo's birthday is 20.09.1995

Ady, just to let you know. The chap you helped at the Bash who needed to know all about his cold start system (Mr Ferris) has made a claim for oldest 4WD, SGL5-100212. Made on 22/05/95. Which makes your Bongo seem comparatively modern.

Hi all, just checked the chassis number on our M reg, 2.5, v6, petrol bongo. Its coming up as 31/05/95.
Does this make ours the oldest petrol bongo?
Will this increase the value as thinking of selling, lol?
