Minerva TT '52

• 1,997 cc engine with manual transmission
  
• Older professional restoration
  
• Indicated mileage of 656 km
  
• French registration documents and Belgian Car-Pass present
  
  

The Minerva TT is a distinctive Belgian classic with a pronounced military character. With its robust construction, open bodywork and recognisable Army Green finish, it represents an interesting part of Belgian automotive history.




This example was first registered on 15 September 1952 and is finished in Army Green. The vehicle currently has an indicated mileage of 656 km and underwent a professional restoration in the past.




The body presents well and shows signs of use that suit the character of the vehicle. The paintwork also shows signs of use. The underside has been restored and is in good condition.




The interior has been restored and presents well. The engine bay was thoroughly addressed during the restoration and presents very neatly.




Technically, the engine is in good, honest condition and runs well, although further adjustment is recommended. The clutch and manual transmission operate perfectly. The brakes still require adjustment and repair. The handbrake works well. There is play in the steering and the suspension still requires adjustment.




This Minerva is now more than 30 years old and can qualify for classic car status in Belgium. In Flanders, vehicles aged 30 years or more are subject to specific flat-rate classic car taxation. With a Belgian O-plate and the required registration, the vehicle may also benefit from the applicable regulations for Flemish LEZ zones according to the conditions in force.




Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this vehicle.
