Here is a Minerva, built under license in Belgium, and these are a great way of entering Land rover ownership. September 1952 and will be registered in the UK. This Minerva is a project, it would not take much to get back on the road, it will need the brake looking at, it runs very nicely, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt in the early 90s, the charging system works, some lights work. Bulkhead and chassis are in reasonable condition and show no signs of any repairs.

The body is in straight condition, put the paint work is poor, and very flaky. Comes with a hood, in the pictures.

Largely complete, only missing a front grille and badge, which I will be able to point you in the right direction. These are a nice vehicle to drive, when finished.

Vehicle located Between Bicester and Aylesbury, 1 mile from the A41, 12 Miles from Junction 9 M40. Please call Tom on 07974691822. Here is a bit of history on the Minervas. When Belgium's army needed a lightweight 4×4 vehicle, the head of Minerva, Monsieur van Roggen approached Rover in the spring of 1951. On 21 June, Rover discovered that they were competing against Willys Jeep for the contract. In October 1951, the deal was agreed and in 1952, the Minerva-Land Rover was produced. Both 80" and 86" models were made until production ended in 1956. Arthur Goddard, Rover Assistant Chief Engineer and head of Land Rover development was in charge of approving the changes Minerva wanted to make to the Land Rover as well as setting the factory up to assemble the vehicles.
