The Opel 1,2 Liter is a small car manufactured by Opel between 1931 and 1935. The 1,2 Liter was replaced in 1935 by the Opel P4 which was broadly similar but employed a new engine and continued in production until December 1937. For just one year, in 1933, the manufacturer also offered the Opel 1,0 Liter which was a smaller engined version of the 1,2 Liter. The Opel 1,2 Liter replaced the last version of the Opel Laubfrosch and was itself first complemented and then effectively replaced by the more roomy Opel Kadett, which had itself already entered production in 1935.

The reduced specification Opel 1,0 Liter was in production for only a year, commencing at the end of 1932.
For 1934 the roofless and two seater cars were withdrawn, leaving the two door sedan/saloon as the entry level Opel 1,2
The Opel P4 replaced the Opel 1,2 in September 1935. From the outside there was little to distinguish the two models from one another, but at the front the P4 did have its radiator covered by a simple front grill.
