The plate stating “Kristiaan’s Autobedrijf” is of the Gebroeders Kristiaan (Kristiaan Brothers). It turns out they were not coachbuilders but one of the companies which sold surplus Canadian Army trucks in the Netherlands, either complete or in parts. Unlike other companies doing the same, e.g. Sindorf, they no longer exist.

This C60L is back on the market. Now cleaned up and sitting on proper tyres.

Alex and I have seen this truck in person and while it needs a lot of work, it is an original Canadian Army wartime truck used to liberate the Netherlands. Most surviving C60Ls are the late war APTs which did not see action during WW2. See https://photos.app.goo.gl/fb4oib25cNGYC6Qa8 for a full set of photos.

This C60L found a new owner, part of a group of productive restorers. So the future looks bright for this genuine liberator of the Netherlands

That's definately good news. Hopefully we will see some pictures of the restoration appearing on MLU soon.
