This car was owned and stored
in in garage for 38 years! The total Kilometers on the speedo when I found
this vehicle was 5500 total! This IS NOT a typo! Five thousand, five hundred
KM's only! By the way, I can verify this!
This car is the brainchild of Swiss gentleman named Emil Enzmann. Emil wanted
to compete in racing but did not have the funds to compete with the big displacement
engines. He wanted a small, lightweight and rigid car that would be powered
by a 1300cc eng. The results! A 1300 lbs. car that would give Porsche a run
for their money!
The car has EVERYTHING that came with it when it was brand new! It even came
with an original build sheet that explains the details of the car including
the "one-off" sliding, retractable hardtop. Only one car was made this way. This car is it. Reason this design was discarded was because the time involved
to build the surrounding structure. It was too time consuming and shelved it
in favor of a simpler design.
These cars were produced in Switzerland from 1957 - 1962. According to the
builders, and records, total production was a mere 193 examples. Out of those,
only 18-19 remain! My car having the lowest mileage, is the only car that
has NEVER been restored and is the nice-est of all that remail. There are NO
examples here in the United States except for my car. This car runs and drives
excellent, weather permitting, I drive this car everyday!!!!!
