According to a good source, apparently there was only 11 more made after this one making the last to be 607311.
Can anyone confirm?

Not the oldest but my 2wd tintop in greens date is 29/5/95 according to the Russian site. I'm going to claim that its the oldest in Ireland anyway :)

Hello everyone . Had my bongo for above 4 years now. It’s a 1995 in black. Check out Russian web site to see just how old it is.. been a great vehicle.. alternator when wrong 3 mts ago. It was the original one. I took it of a great engineer in Croydon refrub it for me Fitted new voltage regulator and new bridge regulator. Also this year right side water pipe leak. Under passenger side. Done the up and down system to re do water . Trying to keep the old van on the van best I can,,, had offside rear seal done couple of year ago. Next month m.o.t. Again. Having to have the other side done.. just had 4 new tyres fitted not cheap. Because it a 4x4. Which both axes have to match....... it got fitted kitchen . Had air con done last Year seen to work ok. Just a little so so to everyone on form. Send a picture if I can work out how to do it...
