Original vintage Cover Girl Magazine – Volume One, Number Seven, dating from October 1978. A late-1970s British men's publication combining glamour photography with sporting articles, interviews, humour, entertainment and contemporary features.

The front cover has a striking orange/red background and features a blonde cover model in a white vest-style top. The original UK cover price is shown as £1, with a Canadian price of $2.50.
