MAX, van jongensdroom tot nachtmerrie

A new sports car manufactured in the Netherlands caused quite a stir at the 1989 Amsterdam motor show. This MAX, based on the underpinnings of a Citroën AX, attracted publicity everywhere. Behind the scenes, however, the mood was different. During the further development into a commercially viable consumer version, new challenges arose time and time again. Slowly but surely, Eric Spronk's boyhood dream turned into a nightmare.

This book tells the complete story of a sensational Dutch car project that was originally never intended to enter the consumer market. Dozens of former employees and other people involved shed light on the events of this 'cowboy era', which more than once took on bizarre forms. Rarely a book about the birth of a new passenger car has been compiled from such an insider's perspective, with details about the working atmosphere, minor and major inconveniences, hilarious moments and, time and again, the motivating words of the driving force behind this boyhood dream.
