Richard Copping has owned Beetles of varying ages since 1977. For many years a regular on the Concours scene, both as an entrant and judge, most of his time is now spent writing about the cars he loves. A regular contributor to Britain’s oldest VW magazine, "VW Motoring", he has also written a comprehensive account of the Beetle’s history for Veloce, entitled "Volkswagen Beetle: The Car of the 20th Century."

Photographer Ken Cservenka bought his first Beetle in 1969 and has been involved with the car ever since. His technical knowledge and ability is widely recognized, while his pictures of Beetles and other VW models stand out from the crowd.
