Door armour looks thick; a lot of armour at that date would only have been effective against ricochets or at long range.

This car, like other early Minerva, were armoured through spaced metal sheet filled with something ( varying).

Not very effective, the more that the fighting range was going closer and closer.

Thus these early armourd cars were taken back from the front fields. Either dismantled or confined to dispatch riders.

The turret of this SAVA was so cramped that it was taken out ( this is probably the reason why some speaks of two SAVA A/C, when only one was produced in 1914.
