Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Black wire wheel, radiator and headlight stone guards, dual sidemounted spares, passenger sidemount mirror, drivers side spotlight, raked windshield, rumble seat, rear trunk. New brown carpeting, tattered original interior. The paint is old and worn and looks original although it was done only a few decades ago. The underside is heavily worn and the paint is coming off. Needs a lot.

Market commentary

What a magnificent car with tons of character. Most Minervas seen are big formal conveyances and this completely stands out with its shorter wheelbase and sporting open coachwork. Given that this is a rare car and that originality is bringing a premium, its easy to side with the seller in deciding not to let this car go although its originality is a bit overworn and tired.
