Description

The Enzmann 506 1200 MAG was a variant of the original Enzmann 506 sports car. Like the standard model, the 506 1200 MAG featured a fiberglass body mounted on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis, making it lightweight and efficient. The “1200” indicated the 1200cc Volkswagen engine, but in the MAG version, it was often tuned or replaced with higher-performance engines for better power output.

The Enzmann 506 was popular for its simple, sleek design and its kit-car nature, allowing enthusiasts to make modifications. The MAG variant typically referred to models fitted with enhanced engines or aftermarket components to improve performance and handling. This made it more desirable to those looking for a sportier experience, while still keeping the lightweight, minimalist aesthetic that Enzmann was known for.

Although the Enzmann 506 1200 MAG remained rare, it is highly valued among collectors and enthusiasts of vintage and kit cars. Its distinctive body shape, low profile, and fiberglass construction reflect the innovative and cost-effective engineering solutions of its era.
