This first generation Mazda Bongo van really takes me back to when I was in grade 3 and 4 and a neighbour would on occasion take me and my sister home from school is plain white (I don't think it was two-tone) Bongo van. They were the only times I got to ride in them, didn't in Australia nor in Japan (where they are of course rare!) This green one hails from Kagawa Prefecture, and the owner enjoys taking it camping.
This Bongo van was built in 1974. It has a 987cc inline 4 engine.
I've set myself an ambitious target, and that is to unearth all of Japan's rusting, nostalgic gems. It's not going to be easy. They're shy creatures and prefer to remain hidden. And, limited time and funds mean they're likely to stay that way, which would be not cool!<More>
