The Škoda 1200 is a family car produced by Czechoslovakian automaker AZNP from 1952 to 1956 at their plant in Mladá Boleslav. Sedan and station wagons versions were offered. The 1200 appeared in 1952 as a successor to the Škoda 1101, and was the first mass-produced Škoda to use the steel ponton format body.
The car was powered by a four-cylinder 1213 cc OHV water-cooled engine producing at maximum power 36 PS (26 kW) at 4,200 rpm. The four-speed gear box included synchromesh on the top three ratios, power being delivered to the rear wheels via a jointed prop shaft. The front suspension is independent using transverse leaf springs while the rear suspension is independent using transverse leaf springs with floating half-axles. Top speed is 105 km/h (65 mph).
The 1200 was available as a four-door saloon, three-door van or five-door station wagon. There were also about 2,000 ambulances.
Production ended in 1956.
