Max Power Magazine October 2003 RARE Nissan 350Z VW Golf Sam SKU 1455

Original Max Power magazine dated October 2003, packed with modified-car features, performance tuning, styling, car audio, show coverage and model photography from the height of the early-2000s UK modified-car scene.

The principal cover feature is the radically modified Nissan 350Z, described as the “Ninja Nissan” and presented as a highly modified street-racing build. The car features an extreme silver wide-body conversion, sculpted bumpers, large alloy wheels, lowered suspension and extensive custom styling.

Other featured cars and motoring content include:

• Modified Nissan 350Z cover car
• Nissan Skyline GT-S Midnight Club II feature
• Modified Volkswagen Golf R32 with extensive in-car entertainment
• Twin-engined Volkswagen project with Suzuki GSX-R1000 power

The model content includes Sam, presented in a dedicated Planet Max / Max Babe feature with large-format glamour photography. Further model and event photography appears throughout the magazine alongside the vehicle features and show reports.

This is a substantial period issue with over 300 pages of modified cars, performance specifications, custom paintwork, body kits, wheels, suspension, engine upgrades, ICE installations, cruise coverage and early-2000s tuning culture. It would make an excellent addition to a collection focused on Nissan 350Z, Nissan Skyline, Volkswagen tuning, Japanese performance cars or classic Max Power magazines.

The spine appears complete and secure, with some rubbing and light compression consistent with storage and previous reading. The internal pages shown remain attached and readable.
