A collection of automotive ephemera housed in a blue textured self-adhesive photo album, documenting various UK car shows and motor museums between 1982 and 1985.

Content includes documentation of the Custom + Classic Car Show at Millbay Station, Plymouth (May 1982), the Birmingham Motor Show (October 1982), and the Beaulieu Abbey National Motor Museum (August 1982). Notable entries feature custom vehicles such as a Buick Riviera and a 1978 Pontiac Firebird with flame detailing, alongside 1980s concept and production cars including the TVR Tasmin and Peugeot Vera Plus.
Handwritten annotations on white adhesive labels throughout provide dates and locations in red ink. Included ephemera comprises a flyer for the Cream County Cruisers event with a list of trophies and sponsors, and an advertisement for Traffic car spares and accessories of Sutton Road, Plymouth. The album also records visits to Helston Aero Park, the Devon Vintage Car Club Rally at Blachford Manor House, and commercial vehicle displays including vintage Plymouth City and Western National buses.

Condition report:
Exterior: The vehicle is primarily documented through a vintage photograph of the front and nearside (photo 2). The black paintwork features custom flame decals to the bonnet and front wings. Front bumper and glass appear free of significant graded defects. The nearside front wing, door, and rear quarter show no visible dents or scratches exceeding 10-year rule thresholds. The nearside wheels appear in good condition with no significant corrosion visible. Interior: The interior is not clearly visible in the provided photographs and has not been assessed. Not assessed: Mechanical and electrical operation, the underbody and under-bonnet area, tyre condition, and whether panels have been previously painted were not assessed. Under-bonnet area is visible in a separate photo of a Buick Riviera but not for the Pontiac Firebird. DVLA record: MOT No results returned; tax Taxed (due 2027-08-01). Defect tally: dents that appear over about 30mm = 0 panels or bumpers; paint defects that appear over about 25mm on a panel or 100mm on a bumper = 0; panels or bumpers with damage over roughly 30% of their area = 0; structural panels with damage over 30% = 0; significant parts missing = 0; glass defect over about 10mm = no; a significant trim or part needed = no. Condition Grade: 1 of 5 (BCA Car Condition Grading scale, indicative — assessed from photographs, not a 2-metre standard-viewing-angle appraisal)
