LES GRANDES MARQUES DU MONDE SALE
AU GRAND PALAIS
THURSDAY 8TH FEBRUARY 2018
3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris, France
1911 MINERVA MODEL Z 38 HP OPEN LIMOUSINE
Chassis # 10699
Engine # 10700
• Rare Minerva delivered to Spain
• Fascinating historical record
• Original interior preserved
• In the hands of the same owner for over 30 years
The most powerful Minerva model in 1911 was their Z model. bore x stroke of 124 x 130 mm, the engine displayed about 6, 3 liters and, through a four-speed gearbox, the whisper of its engine muffler Knight passed an excellent power while flexibility to the road in a wide range of speeds and offered coachbuilders a refined chassis on which to build bodies at the request of their esteemed clientele.
At that time, the brand had a good international reputation, thanks to its excellent reliability and open agencies to supply foreign markets. In 1913, advertisements in the contemporary press show a Minerva Automoviles in Spain marketing all models, clearly showing that these cars were popular in this country. It seems that this is the very first model built, historians noting that the series begins around the number 10699, and that it could well be prior to the emergence of Spanish society, its chassis plate with a wording in French. In any case, in all its other aspects the car displays elements of Spanish brands, from its radiator Corominas (Barcelona and Madrid) to its lights and beacons Tarrida (Barcelona). He does not
In a typical way for the thoughtful collector Jacques Vander Stappen, he chose a new, well-documented copy of this brand which contrasted nicely with the other pieces in his collection in terms of style and origin. On the record is a correspondence dating back to the 1920s and the original 1928 vignette still in place which attests that its vintage plates were M-1211, suggesting that it was registered very early in Madrid. Later, there are sales contracts, the car seldom changing hands apparently only in 1940, then in 1975, before arriving in this collection.
Although it has not been used in recent years and it rightly requires a restart, the car is complete and in a remarkable original condition. The leather in the front and rear compartments seem to retain their original material and show little signs of wear for their more than 100 years of existence, only traces of sunburn on the rear cabin door and some traces on the seats. At one point, the painting seems to have been redone in part, from an apple green that is still found on the axles and in the wheel arches, to the red and black livery of today that puts better value the lines of the bodywork, which can easily be changed to another harmony.
These huge Minerva are famous for being good cars. This one with the additional distinction that gives it its Spanish origin, is at the same time exceptionally rare and a fascinating piece of the history of the Belgian mark.
