The Bongo is officially called a Mazda
Bongo Friendee or Ford Freda,
and is a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and weekend camper which, due to its high specifications, value for money and versatility, is becoming very popular with over 10,000 in the UK alone. A Bongo works well as a van,
campervan or a people carrier.
The Mazda Bongo Friendee was introduced in 1995 based on a people
carrier. The Ford badged version began selling in the Japanese
home market as the Ford Freda.

or a Mazda owners handbook that you cannot read, then this manual
is for you. It covers the Mazda Bongo 1990-2000 vehicles. The
Mazda Bongo Friendee Hanbook is a translated copy of the original
Japanese Mazda Bongo Friendee Owners Handbook and ideal for those
who may have either lost their original handbook or found that
their owners handbook is written in Japanese.
The Mazda Bongo Friendee van
SGL, is an eight seater MPV. Some already have had Mazda factory fitted
rear kitchens installed, but many others are imported to the UK and converted into campervans. All
of them have fold down seats downstairs to make a double bed,
and on many models there is also an 'Auto Free Top' elevating
roof which can sleep a further two people.
Flat-top Bongo versions are
also available affectionately known as Bongolows!
Launched in 1995, they usually have automatic transmissions with
a few manual transmission versions available, and come in 2WD (SGL3)
and full time 4WD (SGL5) versions.

blinds are fitted as standard.
