I had been looking for 5 months and found this place// motorfair in Gloucester they have a good selection of Bongos.
And they were all in good condition i even got 6 months warranty out of them..
If you are willing to travel try Mike at wheelquick in Wigan hes got a top reputation and will get you what you want..

I would recommend myself Ruth, but nearly all mine are converted and I dont have a silver one.
As you have posted in the Wales Section -try Steve at St Illan Car Imports Tel 02920 862040.

Or if you dont mind an hours drive east then you would be well advised to try Gerry at Discount Trucks - He definitely had a few silver ones when I was there 2 weeks ago. Tel 01635 255554.

Hiya - we bought ours from Ian at Churcham Garage - just outside Gloucester.

He's a nice guy and we've had no probs so far!

We bought ours privatly after seeing it on the side of the road with a sign in the window, took it for a test drive , thought about it for 2 weeks and took my brother who is a mechanic to see it before eventually buying it. No problems so far but the guy i bought it off really did look after it well and didnt use it a lot and its only done 53k miles.

Bought mine from Joe at Quality Cars Direct in Swansea, came with a 6 month warranty which was handy as we had to have the front diff replaced because of differet size tyres. Found himthrough autotrader web page. Found he was cheaper than most of theother garages.

Have noticed a coupleof Bongo's in Croft (I think thats the name) near Cockett

If you can make a trip up the m6 to stoke way, Ian Taylor at Market Drayton is also good, never had any problems buying or with servicing.
