CONDITION: AUTHOR: Stephan Szantai AUTHOR BIO: Born and raised in France to a German mother and a Hungarian father, Stephan Szantai has had a deep interest in automobiles for longer than he can remember. Regular childhood trips to Germany to visit an aunt who drove a 1971 Beetle sealed his fondness for air-cooled VWs. A fascination for car magazines led to Stephan’s first article being published in France’s then-new Super VW Magazine in 1987. Five years later, a business opportunity prompted him to move to Southern California. Fast-forward more than two decades and Stephan’s career has translated into books, along with 2,500 articles printed in nearly 100 magazines based in 17 countries.
