Arguably better known for the Rolls-Royce and Hispano-Suiza rivalling motorcars it built pre-WW2, Minerva also fielded a range of high quality motorcycles with 1½hp through to 8hp engines in the years before World War One.
Purchased as a restored machine by the vendor over 30 years ago, ‘BL’ has since completed six Pioneer Runs, four Inverness Rallies (70 miles in the day,) two Anglo-Dutch tours and numerous other events both in the UK and The Netherlands. The seller states that ‘BL’ has proved itself to be a very reliable and usable machine, capable of cruising at 30mph with the ability to climb most hills and being light, is easy to manoeuvre into an estate or van.

The engine has been overhauled during the current ownership and is reported to be in ‘very good order’. Fitted with a c.1908 B&B carburettor and coil ignition, ‘BL’ is reported to perform ‘very well’ - a great tribute to the advanced Minerva design. An outstanding opportunity to acquire a very capable and well-sorted Pioneer machine, ‘BL’ will no doubt be a welcome entry in Veteran and Pioneer events both in the UK and throughout Europe. Accompanied by an extensive paperwork file, and a ‘for comfort’ pair of remanufactured crankcase halves! The vendor advises that ‘BL’ ‘has not been run recently and so will need usual checks before use’
