Equipment
Painted wire wheels, blackwall tires, dual sidemount spares with mirrors, rumble seat, cloth top, Cicca Tenor horn, headlight and radiator stoneguard, Star spotlight, leather upholstery.
Condition
Cracked old repaint, cracked and torn original upholstery. Decent brightwork. Sides used to be red. Orderly but aged largely original Minerva said to run and drive superbly.
Market commentary
A star car by any standard, sympathetically preserved and handsomely bodied on the short wheelbase chassis. Offered by Gooding in Pebble Beach in 2011 with a reported high bid of $450,000. Expensive, but a super-elegant and deliciously original example of a rare, high quality marque, this is what it deserves to bring.
