Cool story bro etc but on my lunchtime walk just now, I saw 6 Mazda Bongos/Ford Fredas in the space of half a mile or so. A few years ago, there seemed to be only a few around but they are popping up all over the place now. Every day I seem to spot more and more. Appreciate that they are probably a fair bit cheaper than the ubiquitous T5/T6s (saw loads of these too) but there can't be hundreds being imported from Japan each year can there? The youngest I've seen are on 02 reg, so 20 years old - where have they all come from?

(we also spotted a Freda driving down the motorway yesterday - as there are only about 1,000 of those in the UK that was quite the spot!)
Both of those in the picture I posted are Fredas!

Bristol?
Bongo central(until October when the clean air zone will kill them off)
Well identified. Not sure the CAZ will kill them off tbh. In my part of Bristol, most of these would be heading south away from the CAZ down to Devon and Cornwall. Can't really think why they'd be impacted at all, especially as (I assume) they are second, or even third cars and not used for daily runs
