1972 Volkswagen Beach Buggy 1300 offered for sale. This is racing pedigree meets beach style.
This is not just any VW beach buggy - this is ‘Plan B’, the legendary short wheel based VW buggy that once dominated UK drag strips running 11 second quarter miles. Now meticulously recommissioned and affectionately renamed ‘Plan Zee’ in honour of its racing heritage, this unique vehicle combines race spec build quality with breath taking head-turning style. The once fire breathing drag car engine is now gone and in its place sits a beautifully rebuilt and detailed 1300cc perfect for adventures away from the race track. The engine might now be more sedate but much of the original race car remains including:
PROFESSIONAL RACE-SPEC CHASSIS
