Warwick wright was the sole importer of Minerva cars in the UK (london) in the beginning of the 1900, but does enyone know entil wat year.
He raced 1907 the TT, and imported also metalurgique cars in 1912.

Minerva Motors of 40 Holborn Viaduct were advertising at least as early as 1903. Although I suppose it is possible that this was a trading name for one Warwick Wright, or it was a company he was a director of, it isn't an address associated with him.
He was certainly still competing in Minerva'a as late as 1906 but was better known as the Metallurgique importer |

thanks. I would like to find out if he was stil importer in 1919 or 1920 or ho where other importers at that time. I have a Minerva from that year and sold in UK in 1919/1920. Some history would be nice. Best regards. |

I came across an address for Minerva Automobiles, listed from 1909 until the late thirties as Stratton Street London W1.
In the late 60's early 70's Warwick Wright were listed as the official importers of Australian Chryslers |

I found the address in an old book from the early 60's titled The Motor Car Index 1928 to 1939. The information about the Australian Chrysler dealer ship is on a face book page American Cars UK |
