Kim just told me about the Aero Minor... designed by Jawa engineers secretly during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. Thanks Kim!


The Aero Minor is a Czechoslovakia automobile that was manufactured by Aero from 1946 until 1952.

 It was designed by Jawa Motors engineers on their previous Jawa Minor design; they worked on it secretly during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.


 It had a two-cylinder, two-stroke 20 hp engine with 615cc displacement and front wheel drive. The car reached speeds of up to 90 km/h. 

The Aero Minor excelled in its time with its spacious body, quiet operation, low fuel consumption and long service life. A total of 14,178 cars were produced, half of the cars were exported to 23 countries, mainly to the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland. 

In 1947, the famous traveler František Alexander Elstner set out from Prague to Africa across the Sahara to the Gulf of Guinea and back. 

The car was also successful in car competitions and on the racetrack. A sports version Aero Minor Sport competed at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949, where it won its class
