Highlights
• Very sold rust-free steel body
• Low mileage
• Full weather gear
The Background
Built by Minerva for use by the Belgian army these Series 1 Land Rovers were put together from official parts under license from Rover.
“Knocked Down kits” were supplied by the British firm that included the chassis, engine, axle, transmission and various other parts to Minerva in Antwerp who would then build a bespoke steel body to on top.

The History
This particular car (chassis number 36634455) has been in the Netherlands since 2019. It is an ex-Belgium Army model that was released from service in the '90s. With a solid steel body and reliable 2.0-litre Land Rover engine it is a running and driving example.
The brakes need an overhaul due to sticking issues but the gearbox is good and it comes with full weather gear.

The Paperwork
There appears to be little in the way of paperwork with just a reprinted owners manual and Dutch vehicle registration card to speak of.
The Interior
Built for utilitarian military use the interior is sparse at best but what there is is complete and functioning. The front seat covers are wearing well and carry no damage and the driver's side is removable to reveal the fuel tank.
The paint is peeling in places but there is no rust and all of the switchgear and gauges are present and correct. The steering wheel does have some wear and tear but it does not affect its operation in any way.

The Exterior
The bodywork does carry some patina but it's all in keeping with the overall, rugged aesthetic of this particular Land Rover and as mentioned there is no rust, which is surprising for these steel-bodied Minerva cars.
The windscreen is intact and the spare wheel is present, attached to the rear of the vehicle. As stated the car comes with full weather gear which appears to be in good condition. The underside of the car also looks clean and tidy.

The Mechanics
The original engine and gearbox run well but the brakes do suffer from some sticking problems and would require an overhaul. The leaf spring suspension looks to be in good shape and the car is fitted with a modern battery with healthy looking terminals.
The car has seen light use as evidenced by the mileage which equates to less stressed components - it seems to be an honest, working example of an early '50s Series 1.

The Appeal
Although not as sought after as genuine, British-built Land Rovers the Minerva Series 1s are generally considered to be more sturdy thanks in part to their steel bodies.
The downside of that is that they don't last as long due to rust but happily that isn't the case with this particular 1952 example and with just a little fettling to the braking system this rugged off-roader could be put to use straight away.
It would make a fine addition to any collection, whether military based or not and with such low mileage it's definitely worth a bid.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da 0 € a 9.999 € | 100,00 € |
| Da 10.000 € a 49.999 € | 250,00 € |
| Da 50.000 € a 99.999 € | 500,00 € |
| 100.000 € + | 1.000,00 € |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
