Some of these cars do start, run and drive. Each car has a condition report, however they are all sold as seen • In 1951, the Belgian Army was searching for a new lightweight 4 x 4, so Minerva approached Rover to produce their Series I under license • Under the arrangement, Rover provided full technical assistance and Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits consisting of a chassis, engine, and transmission. Minerva would then build a steel body that met the requirements of the Belgian Army. Minerva lacked the ability to produce the curved wings, so Minerva vehicles have a distinctive sloping wing shape. • Nice early car finished in Olive Drab/Matte Green with a well-worn interior • Understood to have been imported around 1995/6.
