Max Power Magazine June 1999 Renault Clio Vauxhall Astra Peugeot 106 Golf Skoda VR6 SKU 1524

Original Max Power Magazine – June 1999, a substantial late-1990s UK modified-car, tuning, styling, performance and ICE issue packed with period custom builds, hot hatches, unusual conversions, performance cars and car-audio features.

The front cover is dominated by a dramatically modified blue Renault Clio, with large alloy wheels, lowered stance, smoothed/custom body styling and Max Power number plate. The cover headline “Nice Arse!” introduces the featured Clio, while other cover stories include modified Nova performance, styling trends, police/motoring coverage, budget audio equipment and a major exhaust guide.

This is a particularly good period issue for collectors of 1990s Max Power, modified hatchbacks, cruise culture and UK tuning history.

VR6 Skoda Feature

One of the more unusual features visible in the photographs is a brightly coloured Skoda fitted with VR6 power, presented as an extreme sleeper-style conversion. The spread combines exterior photographs with commentary on the car's engineering and transformation, making it a particularly interesting piece of late-'90s modified-car culture.

Condition

This is a well-used vintage magazine and the photographs show noticeable age and handling wear. It should not be described as mint or near-mint.

Visible condition points include:

• Heavy rubbing, scuffing and surface wear across the front cover
• Numerous visible light scratches and handling marks
• Significant spine wear
• The lower portion of the spine has visible tearing/splitting and paper loss
• Noticeable wear around the bottom-left corner
• Edge wear and small creases around the covers
• Some corner curling/bending
• Rear cover shows extensive rubbing, creasing and general storage wear
• Spine area on the rear appears particularly worn with tearing and distortion
• Internal pages photographed remain colourful and readable, although normal handling wear and page-edge ageing should be expected

Despite the exterior wear, the magazine retains strong period content and would suit a collector who values the articles and original late-1990s tuning material rather than a pristine-condition example.

Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
