These vehicles were made almost exclusively for the Belgian Army by Minerva based on CKD kits supplied by Land-Rover between 1952 and 1956. This fire engine might be a factory made version (like the Land-Rover equivalent). This would be extremely rare and actually a proof that such versions existed. Very interesting!

antp ◊ 2006-10-20 18:08	And for those that haven't seen it yet: http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-1023-Minerva_4x4.html But should it really listed as "Minerva Land-Rover" and not just as "Minerva"?

The Fire Brigade Minerva was a 80inch from the Belgian Forces, modified for this purpose and used as '1st intervention' vehicle at the air force bases (sixties).
