Max Power Magazine October 1996 Pink Peugeot 205 Modified Cars Tuning (1500)

Original Max Power Magazine – October 1996, a substantial 236-page issue from the peak 1990s UK modified-car scene. This issue has a particularly memorable cover featuring a heavily modified pink Peugeot 205, promoted as the “Ultra Sweet Pug 205”, with the magazine noting that the pink theme continues through the car’s interior.

A great period piece for collectors of Max Power, 1990s modified cars, retro tuning culture, hot hatches and custom-car magazines.

The front cover is dominated by the bright pink modified Peugeot 205, complete with an aggressive bodykit, bonnet treatment, upgraded wheels and colour-matched exterior styling.
