CONDITION: AUTHOR: AUTHOR BIO: Mark Walker bought his first 1964 VW Beetle at age 16 before he could legally drive. Over 25 years of VW ownership and over 100 air-cooled Volkswagens have since passed through his hands. Mark was the owner and operator of The Bus Station (2002-2013) and Vintage Werks (2006-2007) – both companies heavily immersed in the VW scene that were known for importing classic Volkswagens from around the world and carrying out sympathetic restoration work. They also gained an international reputation for out-of-the-box thinking, high-quality suspension modifications, and turning out magazine feature-worthy cars. The success and popularity of his business earned Mark the nickname ‘Slam King.’ Mark has written for Volksworld and Camper & Bus magazines since 2012.
