Hi, been on the forum for a while now, so thought it was about time to put up a pic of my Bongo.. Adi

Probably just a trick of the photo, but has the suspension been lowered?

Yes, lowered quite a bit as I need it to fit into a 6 foot 6 car park

A very decent looking Bongo. I have always liked the older ones. Once there was a shiny silver Aero parked next to us and I had ever so slight envy at the tme due to the softer rounder looks from afar. Once I got close the rear arches were totally shot along with bubbling sills.

Looked good from far, but far from good.

The older ones are quite discrete.. few even see it as anything more than an old Japanese van, discretion can be a good thing sometimes. Shiny red "surfer style" sleek campers tend to stick out a bit.

I could not sleep at night if I had £50,000 of shiny new VW camper on the road.

It depends on the individual I guess, what you like.
