Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Minerva license-built (EU) carries a cooling system capacity of 9.75 liters across all three model variants covered in the 1952-1958 production span.
  • A 9.75-liter coolant capacity places the system in a moderate range for light utility vehicles of the era, reflecting the relatively modest inline four-cylinder engine architecture common to early Land Rover derivatives.
  • The 80 variant, produced 1952-1954, shares the identical 9.75-liter cooling system capacity with the later 86 and 88 variants, indicating no meaningful change to the engine cooling architecture across the successive wheelbase revisions.
  • The 86 variant, covering 1954-1956, retains the 9.75-liter figure despite representing a wheelbase increase over the 80, suggesting the longer body did not require a revised cooling circuit volume.
  • All three variants list a normal use condition against the 9.75-liter capacity, meaning the specification applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-thermal-load conditions.
