The van has a Ford badge due to being unusual and having a Ford engine. It's worth having as parts are much easier to find in the UK.
The DVLA info shown below in Item 6 does not recognise it is an imported Mazda and DVLA put an N Reg on it. The V5 Reg doc shows first Reg 01 07 1996 and first Reg in UK as 2006.
Within the Bongo World it is known as a Ford Freda.
It's still a Mazda Bongo.
1 The van and front seats
Cable to attach to radio, phone etc.
charge the leisure battery. The lead is
normally out of sight.
Two-burner hob.
The table rail is shown under.
The sink-hob surface continues to a
double 13 amp socket and light.
There's another light above the rear seat/bed.
Curious radio/CD player - ALSO DVDs.
Perhaps connects to satnav & phone.
Also cable with jackplug for Ipad, phone etc.
Independent switch = listen & no ignition on.
Seat-back folds forward with storage space underneath.
Pull bed-front down for more storage.
More boxes and side places at the rear.
See plastic emerging from
lower right corner.
4 The seat frame
The seat frame is rust-free and can be removed to give a spacious van.
The seat-back is shown but is easily taken off.

6 More points to note
- Various documents relating to the van history are included
- They include the latest MoT which expires on 3 Feb 2019
- They include an invoice relating to a new cam belt on 30 April 2012. Odometer then = 101957 kilometers = 63353 miles. As shown previously, the reading is 93489 miles.
. By that reckoning, the cam belt needs changing after the van has done another 29936 miles. - Another invoice dated 2 2 2018 shows that the cooling system for the engine has been overhauled.
- The wheel arches are doubtful in some Bongos. Those on this one are in fine fettle.
- The spare wheel is under the rear of the van. All tools are under the side entrance of the van.
- It is well worth joining the Bongo Fury Club - more
- Number-plate here here
- When reading adverts beware of the imported year being used versus the year of manufacture.
- Also beware of miles-done claims on an old vehicle.
- Boxes inside van not included.
