Max Power Magazine March 1998 Seat Ibiza F2 Cosworth Skyline Golf SKU 1553

Original Max Power Magazine – March 1998 issue, from the classic late-1990s era of UK modified-car and tuning culture.

This issue is strongly focused on performance cars, modified road cars, bodykits, tuning, ICE/audio and the Max Power scene of the period. The front cover is dominated by a bright red SEAT Ibiza F2, promoted with the large “Oi Ginger!” cover line.

The magazine describes itself as “The UK’s biggest-selling tuning, styling and ICE magazine”, making this a particularly nostalgic issue for collectors of 1990s modified-car culture and period motoring magazines.
