Gijs Van Maanen sold the company,where I worked for three years,back in the late 90’s to a holding company,but the name lives on to this day,still doing the meat and fish to Italy & Spain.
This old Maggie is in the colours of when his father started the business.
Beaded seat covers. Remember when there was a period when nearly everyone had one. Drivers who had been wearing shorts would climb out the cab and display what looked like the worst case of cellulite ever on the back of their thighs.

KW, that’s a superb restoration. It looks like brand new!
Gijs Van Maanen’s brother owns Ematra,which is next door to Van Maanen’s yard in Barneveld,and specialises in body and paint jobs on trucks,so I suspect the restoration was done there.
Ematra also did that Scania T-cab Longline conversion a few years ago that was run by an O/D who pulled food tanks out of Amsterdam for Eikelenboom.
