When 29-year-old Dutch-born Sylvie Anne de Jong founded the Minerva bike plant in 1897, no one expected it to become an elaborate automobile manufacturing plant.
In addition to motorcycles, production of small cars soon began.
The cars produced competed in various races, and with the third consecutive win at the Adrennes Race in 1907, it was only natural that the company devoted itself to making high-quality cars and stopped making motorcycles and bicycles.
Until the mid- 1920 s, the four cylinder engine was used.
The six cylinder engine was used.
First came with the Type AB, then with a more luxurious design, in line with the tastes of the rich.
The next step was the design of the eight cylinder engine.
The Type AL with the new engine was unveiled to the public at the Paris Motor Show in 1929.
Because the wheelbase was 152 inches (about 3m86cm), most of the body was made by Belgian coach builder D ` leteren.
Because of the chassis, the 125 horsepower luxury car had a very high-class exterior and interior.
Because the wheelbase was a chassis that measures only about 3m86cm, most of the body was made by Belgian coach builder D ` Granluxe.
To fit the chassis, the plant at 50 Mare Avenue in Brussel offered a body called "カロッセリー de Granluxe."
Initially designed a multi-seater cab separated from the driver.
In addition, the Brussel plant offered convertible and closed versions.
