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

- Semi-spaceframe construction with 3mm wall box section cross-braced base

- CDS tubing roll cage custom-bent by renowned Chris Isaacs Racecars

- MSA certified and tagged to 10.50 seconds specification

- Stove enamelled in stunning dark blue metalflake finish

- Built to exceptional standards with no compromises

- Deep dish wheels front and rear with good tyres all round

EXQUISITE INTERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP

- Custom bead-rolled aluminum floor panels and interior

- Powder coated in pearlescent white for durability and style

- Quick-release Dzus fastener mounting system throughout

- Handcrafted by the specialists at Chris Isaacs Racecars

- Finished in beautiful Fiat Surf Azure

- Original Empi bucket seats with blue 4 point harnesses on sliding subframes

DISTINCTIVE GP MARK 1 BODY

- Upgraded with lightweight GT bonnet

- Modified front wings positioned higher for extreme low-stance aesthetic

- Custom-trimmed rear bodywork behind seats replaced with crafted aluminum panelling

- Complete body attached with Dzus fasteners - fully removable in just 20 minutes

- Professionally finished with meticulous attention to detail 

RARE OPPORTUNITY

This is a genuine piece of UK drag racing history, reimagined for both show and street use. The combination of race-bred engineering, professional craftsmanship, and iconic styling makes "Plan Zee" truly one-of-a-kind.

The V5 is present and it comes with an MOT until April 2026.
