Bongo Fury

Well my freda has no leccy mirrors, no leccy blinds (me and bdc had a good look to see if poss to fit ,but no joy ) and didnt come with a spoiler (it does now fitted at one of our famous N/W YORKSHIRE meets)
BUT IT DOES HAVE THE BEST AND RAREST COLOUR,

...........................BLUE......................

My sisters freda was missing the front fogs, spoiler,leccy blinds,folding mirrors... but had bullbars,siderails,and rear nudge bar.

My Freda has Fogs, Bullbars, Electric folding mirrors, rear spoiler, aircon and electric blinds but only one battery!

Thats pretty rare for the ford version coolhand,you did pretty well there.

The spec of bongo's /fredas is quite perplexing, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the very varied specifications.

I didn't know that was an option. How do they work?

I don't know, but the double amputation necessary to use them must hurt a bit.

Probably only an option on autos.

Yip, they swap straight over either way,without any modification... The bonnet release catch is much easier to gain access to with the ford grille....

well mine is deffo a mazda, but its got a Ford grill, Im tempted to swap the grill for a mazda 1 but...

a) Iam a ford nut
b) It seems like the ford one has easier access to the bonnet catch...

dum de dum...

Yes I reckon it is. And the funny thing is (for me at least) that the Bongo looks really good in that colour whereas a lot of other sportier cars might look a bit tacky. You'd think it would be the other way round.

If I was getting another 95/96 model I'd be very pleased to have a blue one.

God I have a blue 1.....

Of the very many bongo's i've had the privilege of observing down the years, i have seen only one freda in "dave's blue" A few bongo's in that colour, but only one freda. (it has a different paint code from the same mazda colour too).

Post a pic dbo,so we all know which blue we are reffering to... Dabs' bongo for example, is officially a blue bongo. (although we'd say it's grey)

Those seats certainly attract some attention eh brian? Another rare bongo.... sorry, freda.

Hands up who has a freda with front fogs,electric blinds,electric folding mirrors,rear spoiler,and twin battery set up.... I may do a poll

I have a freda with front fogs and elec mirrors
