I'm looking at buying a Bongolow 1996, but after reading the below part, I'm very concerned that if something goes wrong I won't be able to fix it.
My problem being that I'd be using the Bongo for my Wheelchair Rugby Club and taking chairs and players across country to tournaments. Or am I just being a bit silly?

Re: Is it worth it?
Unless you live close to a known Bongo Specialist garage a diesel from that age is going to be a headache for servicing and repair, these older vans do need regular inspection and maintenance. Your standard garage who sometimes aren't so interested in maintaining older vehicles can start quoting silly prices and difficulties in locating parts without some assistance it seems

We used to have Imperial Cars in Poole round our way, but not sure if they are still going?
Re: Is it worth it?
Geoff has a few good points.
Have you considered something like a Transit mini-bus?
Likely to be much easier to Look after, and any garage should be able to do it, more room too.

We've got very limited funds and most transits are manuals so are no good to us

Agree the auto box is a big plus point for the Bongo, indeed essential for your purpose.
