antarmike ◊ 2023-07-09 07:28	This is a Belgian built Land Rover. Built by Minerva from a partial CKD kit sent out from UK. Minerva only built 80" wheel base (8805 examples) and 86" (1100 examples) Badge in grill could be the later type badge that Minerva uses indicating this is an 86" but the image is not clear enough to say for certain whther this is an 80" Minerva or an 86" Minerva. 80" have a clip on the shark tooth rail above the windscreen to hold the tilt that is central over the division of the two halves of the windscreen. The 86" does not, there is no middle clip, rather there are clips to either side of the central windscreen dividing bar. This seems to say we are looking at an 86" Minerva.
