Minerva was a Belgian (Antwerp) business specialising in bicycles, motorbikes and later automobiles active between 1897 and 1958. Founded by Dutchman Sylvain de Jong, the company initially produced safety bicycles before branching out into light cars and motorized bicycles in 1900. By 1902, Minerva added luxury cars to its lineup. The brand achieved fame due to the quality and quietness of its Knight Engines and was favored by royalty and influential people like Henry Ford. Despite success, financial struggles during the 1930s led to its merger with Impéria Automobiles, another Belgian manufacturer. (Wikipedia) More info: MinervaCars.com Why buy this Minerva AH 26 ?
