Triumph Acclaim

The product of a deal made in 1979 between BL Cars and the Japanese firm of Honda, the Triumph Acclaim was essentially a Honda model (known overseas as the Honda Ballade).

The Acclaim was assembled at Cowley although some of it was British sourced and constructed (the interior trim, for instance). Power units and suspension components were supplied ready-assembled direct from Japan, however.

Intended primarily as a stop-gap vehicle between the Dolomite and the new generation Maestro range, the competent little Acclaim was produced only between 1982 and 1984 and was the last BL car to bear the Triumph name.
