A 1972 Type 2 Volkswagen Micro-bus owned by Pierre Robert of the 93.3 WMMR radio station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This vehicle has had one reincarnation in the form of a replacement 1970 VW bus named "Minerva 2", which was given as a gift to Robert by WMMR in 2001.

Minerva 1
The original Minerva mini-bus (micro-bus) was a 1972 VW van that began a journey with Pierre Robert in 1981 from his home in San Francisco, California to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he intended to become a disc jockey. This Volkswagen micro-bus was impounded by The Philadelphia Parking Authority and later crushed in a junkyard.

Minerva 2
A 1970 Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) was found by WMMR as a gift for Pierre Robert to replace the original Minerva. "Minerva 2" was given to Pierre at The Philadelphia Spectrum as a gift to celebrate his 20th Anniversary at WMMR.

Notable Events
In 1981, "Minerva 1" carried Pierre Robert and his friend from San Francisco to the City of Brotherly Love on four bald tires.

In 2002, "Minerva 2" was driven by Pierre Robert in the 93.3 WMMR Ozz-Fund. Robert drove all over the Delaware Valley collecting donations from fans and station listeners
