Condition:
Pre-owned vintage magazine in fair used condition, with noticeable reading, handling and storage wear.

The front cover remains colourful and readable, but shows visible surface rubbing, scratches, handling marks and edge wear. There are creases and softened areas around the corners, with more obvious wear along the right-hand edge and upper-right corner. The cover also has mild waviness and does not lie completely flat.

The spine and rear-cover edge show noticeable rubbing, small white stress marks, short creases and areas of surface loss. There is a more pronounced worn or slightly split section around the lower spine area, although the magazine remains together in the supplied photographs.

The internal pages shown remain colourful and legible but display normal centre-fold curvature, page rippling, edge rubbing and handling creases. The Ferrari double-page feature has visible wear and small splits or stress marks near the lower centre fold.

The photographed model spread contains black censor marks applied over parts of the image. These marks appear to be on the photographed magazine page itself and should be considered part of the item’s condition.

The rear cover shows extensive light scuffing, spine-edge rubbing and multiple small white scratches or crease marks. Please inspect every supplied image carefully, as only the photographed pages have been individually checked.
