The Author

Ken Cservenka and Richard Copping are recognised experts when it comes to Volkswagen’s incredibly popular Bus in all its forms. While Ken owns a Bay camper and has worked extensively on such models, Richard has researched the history of the Bus to produce the authoritative book entitled, ‘VW Bus - 40 years of Splitties, Bays and Wedges’ for Veloce. The authors are the joint editors of VW Motoring magazine, Britain’s oldest Volkswagen title and regularly prepare features about the Bus. As might already have been implied, both are VW Bus enthusiasts of many years standing.
