Minerva T/T 1952

• 1952 Minerva TT
• 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 shows an indicated mileage of 656 km and underwent a professional restoration in the past.

The bodywork presents well and shows signs of use consistent with the vehicle’s character. The paintwork also shows signs of use. The underbody has been restored and is in good condition.

The interior has been restored and presents well. The engine bay was extensively refurbished during the restoration and is presented in very tidy condition.

Mechanically, the engine is in good, honest condition and runs well, although further adjustment is recommended. The clutch and manual gearbox work 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 may qualify for historic vehicle status in Belgium. In Flanders, vehicles at least 30 years old benefit from a specific flat-rate tax regime for classic cars. With a Belgian O registration plate and the required registration, the vehicle may also benefit from the provisions applicable to Flemish LEZ zones, subject to the conditions in force.

Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an appraisal for this vehicle.
