This is a particularly good period issue for collectors of 2000s modified-car magazines, Max Power memorabilia, Japanese performance cars, retro tuning culture and custom car photography.

Main Cover Feature

The striking front cover is dominated by a heavily modified Honda Accord estate, presented under the large “Freak Show!” headline.

The cover describes it as an unusual Japanese-style, nitrous-equipped estate and sets the tone for an issue focused heavily on extreme custom builds, performance upgrades and modified-car show culture.

Other prominent cover stories include:

• Max Metal – chrome/custom styling feature
• Fight Club – Ford Fiesta feature
• Supra-Star – 600bhp Toyota Supra
• Modified-car show coverage
• 6x9 speaker testing
• Car audio / ICE features
• Custom and performance-car articles

Cars Featured Inside

• Toyota Supra – 600bhp feature
• BMW ICE car

The contents photography is very much representative of the early-2000s Max Power era, with bold body kits, aftermarket alloy wheels, custom paint, lowered suspension, modified interiors and large audio installations.

Additional Features

The photographed contents also show coverage including:

• Planet Max
• Max Power models/features
• Modified-car culture articles

The issue also contains the magazine's usual lifestyle/editorial content alongside the car features, giving it a very authentic snapshot of the UK modified-car scene in 2001.

Featured Cars of Particular Collector Interest

The photographed contents specifically highlight some now very collectible tuning-era cars.

The Nissan Skyline feature is especially evocative of the period, while the 600bhp Toyota Supra article represents the peak Japanese-performance-car scene that made Max Power so popular with enthusiasts.

There is also extensive coverage of attainable UK favourites such as the Saxo, Nova, Fiesta, Escort, Astra and Golf, making this an excellent nostalgia piece for anyone who remembers the early-2000s modified-car scene.
