Max Power Magazine August 1993 Rieger Golf Cabrio Astra Turbo Capri 300ZX SKU 1459

Original Max Power Magazine – August 1993, from the very early years of the legendary UK modified-car magazine.

This is a particularly desirable early issue for collectors of 1990s modified cars, tuning culture, Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra, Ford Capri and Nissan 300ZX material. The magazine is packed with period body styling, turbocharging, motorsport, ICE and performance features.

⭐ Cover Car – Rieger Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet

The main cover feature is described as:

“Exclusive! UK’s widest and wildest Rieger Golf Cabrio”

A heavily modified Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet fitted with dramatic Rieger Design bodywork dominates the cover.

The internal opening pages show the car again as the principal cover story, making this a very strong issue for collectors of:

• Volkswagen Golf
• Golf Cabriolet
• Rieger Design
• VW tuning
• German-style modified cars
• Early 1990s bodykit culture

The front cover also advertises a Mk1 Golf GTI buyer’s guide, giving the issue additional appeal to classic Volkswagen enthusiasts.

⭐ Vauxhall Astra Turbo

Another major feature advertised on the cover is a:

300bhp Astra Turbo

The contents also show substantial Astra material, including an Astra Turbo feature and an extensive suspension comparison/test.

The Max Mega Test section evaluates seven Astra suspension kits, making this a useful period reference for Vauxhall and modified-car collectors.

⭐ Ford Capri – Cosworth 4x4

The contents feature a particularly unusual:

Cosworth 4x4 Capri

The opening spread shows a modified Ford Capri and describes the car as a Cosworth-powered example.

An excellent period feature for collectors interested in:

• Ford Capri
• Cosworth conversions
• Ford performance cars
• Custom engine swaps
• 1990s modified Ford culture

⭐ Nissan 300ZX Strosek

The magazine also includes a:

Strosek Nissan 300ZX

The contents describe the modified 300ZX as an expensive and extensively altered example.

This gives the issue additional Japanese performance-car appeal, particularly for fans of:

• Nissan 300ZX
• Strosek styling
• Japanese sports cars
• 1990s tuning

⭐ Other Car Features

Visible contents include:

• Rieger Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet
• Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1
• 300bhp Vauxhall Astra Turbo
• Cosworth 4x4 Ford Capri
• Williams Clio 16V
• Race Replica Mini
• Vauxhall Astra Turbo
• Strosek Nissan 300ZX
• Project RS Turbo
• Ford Escort Turbo ICE Van
• British Touring Cars
• Astra suspension testing
• Turbocharging technical feature
• Body styling features
• Performance specifications

It is a very broad snapshot of the UK performance and modified-car scene in 1993.

Condition – PLEASE READ

This is an original used magazine from 1993 and it shows noticeable age and handling wear.

From the supplied photographs I can see:

• General rubbing and surface wear to the front cover
• Creasing to the cover, particularly around corners and edges
• Lower-left front corner has noticeable wear/creasing
• Edge wear around the front and rear covers
• Spine shows rubbing and age-related wear
• Rear cover has visible rubbing, scratches and handling marks
• Corners are bumped/worn
• Some internal pages show edge wear and light age-related marks
• Page edges show some discolouration consistent with age
• Internal printed content remains clear and readable
• Magazine remains usable and collectible despite the visible cosmetic wear

This is not a mint or near-mint example. I would describe it as a well-used vintage copy with noticeable cover, spine and edge wear, but still a very interesting survivor from the early Max Power era.

Please study all supplied photographs carefully, as they show the actual magazine being sold and form an important part of the condition description.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be packed carefully for dispatch.

Depending on the size of the parcel, it will be protected using sturdy cardboard and/or bubble wrap to help protect the covers, corners, spine and internal pages from bending, crushing and general transit damage.
