Michael C Wauhop Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 i was wondering if there is any car club specifically for Belgium's premier make of car Minerva. I saw one at Hershey (It was the first one I ever saw} and was truly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 My guess is there is one in Europe. Also, since the car has sleeve valves, they may be acceptable to the Knight car club people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Michael - here are some period photos of a Minerva for you. I did a story about them for Hemmings Classic Car magazine and details of their activity in the USA recently. The color image is of a car with Vanden Plas coachwork and the b & w photograph is of a Murphy bodied car . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm not sure there is a club. You can try this website. https://minervacars.com/ Steve Babinsky might know also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmsue Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Not sure of a specific car club for Minerva, but they ARE represented by WOKR - Willys Overland Knight Registry. There are approx 40 Minerva's listed in the roster. The Crawford Museum in Cleveland has a great example. Certainly a classy car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush Mechanic Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) The people running this site should be able to help. Many good photos under ' Minerva Owners'. The site is in Dutch, but I'm sure that there was an English option before it was upgraded. Perhaps I cannot see the button. Also caters for other Belgian makes. http://minervisten.simplesite.com/440624113 Edited October 4, 2020 by Bush Mechanic (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now whit englisch translation . Would be nice if there was some coöperation of Minerva owners, and those with Photo's in there collection that want to share. 99% of them do not do anything.

Clubs are funny things. I'm willing to bet that most Minerva owners have larger collections are not necessarily "club guys". Just an observation which may be wrong. Great cars though.

gilletman Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 A previous attempt had no much succes. Most pictures shown, you can find on the old interweb, But those stil in drawers and old albums do not see any light. But ofcourse, If you dont ask, nothing wil happend. Succes !
