The Minerva was a wonderful, well-built Belgian marque founded in 1897. Their cars were used by a number of European royal families. The AK model was introduced by Minerva in 1927 and featured a 5.9-liter, six-cylinder engine on a 149.5-inch wheelbase chassis.
This Minerva Type AK was bodied in Europe and shipped to the United States. The AK series was the last of the Minervas to be powered by the big six-cylinder Knight sleeve valve motor; this one was a full six liters.
The Belgian-built Minerva was one of the most expensive cars in the world, but what makes this Minerva even more special is that it is entirely original throughout. The odometer shows only 7,000 original miles.
The body was built by d'Leteren under the Weymann patent. It is wood covered with Zapron fabric - which was also used to cover the hood. A truly unique automobile.
