At least the original Grolsch is still available! The company that made your tricycle does not exist any longer. It was the British company Accles & Pollock. They had bought the Gazelle factory in Aalten that produced light transport vehicles (human powered, electric or with petrol engine). After management take-over the company became Truckbouw Aalten. After they went bankrupt in 2004 Matysta took over and manufactured the transporters in their own workshops. Matysta still exixts. And they still advertize Grolsch Beer Tricycles on their website: http://www.matystametaal.nl. Press the tab ‘reclame’ to view another model.
The frame number of your tricycle tells that the year of manufacture is 1999, so it has been made by Accles & Pollock Aalten.
I hope it helps you to know something about the history. If there are problems restoring your Grolsch Apollo. Just ask, I’m sure there are people around here with some experience.
