Nice one m8 ,i see you take after your grandad by running a very tidy fleet,its a credit to you buddy 
@Mike P, wow, what a coincidence! Van Steenbergen transferred their home-fleet (later with
local purchases out of global-conditions) to relevant destinations, however with stripping their
yellow ‘elbow-livery’ into blue for O’Neil, green for Viena & Fernandes etc. Well somewhere you
should find the extreme red paint of Van Steenbergen as the rest of the livery was from decals.
Thanks seth
cheers

Picture out of B/W brochure the moment the first 143 came in and still some 20 142 did the work
next to some Volvo’s and an ERF B as shunter
Nice to see so many good pics of Van Steenbergen’s wagons from Belgium: a good, striking livery, and a fantastic history of diverse and interesting lorries in their fleet over the years. 
Here’s a pic of the only 143 I drove (a 143:450), double-manning an aid run to Romania in '97.
Same trip, following a couple of Iranian tilts downhill - not easy to get by the chap in front! Robert

No idea. She was on a G plate and had the old 10-speed 'box. Here’s another pic showing the o/d by the cab (I can’t remember his name at the moment). Just about the whole village came to help us rebuild the tilt! Robert
