	Triumph Acclaim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Triumph Acclaim was a compact automobile made by BL Ltd., the successor to British Leyland, from 1981 to 1984.
		All Acclaims were powered by the 1,335 cm³ engine found in the Honda Civic and the interior was nearly identical (except for the seats).
		The Acclaim replaced the Triumph Dolomite of the 1970s and was succeeded by the first Rover 200-series, based on the Honda Civic.

	Triumph Motor Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But many Triumphs of this era were unreliable, including the 2.5 PI with its fuel injection problems, and the poor quality of the TR7 and TR8 sports cars, which killed the marque in the United States.
		The last Triumph model was the Acclaim which was launched in 1981 in a joint venture with Japanese company Honda.
		The Triumph name disappeared in 1984, when the Acclaim was replaced by the Rover 200, which was also simply a rebadged version of Honda's Civic/Ballade model.

	Acclaim development story
		The view within the company was that the this car, to be marketed as the Triumph Acclaim, was so complimentary, that it would not steal sales from the Metro or the LM10, both hatchbacks and that it could be regarded as much more than the stopgap it initially was intended to be.
		The Acclaim was marketed as a replacement for the Dolomite, but marketing strategists knew that as the Ital and the Allegro were fading in the market, potential customers would look at the Acclaim as a natural alternative instead of the competition.
		The “Edwardes letter” aside, the lead-up to the Acclaim's launch was very quiet and it failed to grab the public's attention in the way that the Metros had.

		And that shows clearly that we’re making good progress.” Where the Triumph Acclaim was let down, was that it was seen as being out on a limb and out of step with the rest of the range and therefore, somewhat difficult to market.
		Unlike the Triumph Acclaim, it was clear that there was room to develop the new car modestly — and the first step was to develop their version of the car to accept the forthcoming S-Series engine.
		The Acclaim was never particularly a big success as a company car — 26 per cent of the sales of this model were sales to the fleets — an unusually low number for a “British” mid-sized car.

		By this time BL had decided that the then ageing Triumph Dolomite, whose basic shape had been around since 1970 in the form of the 1500 model, was due for replacement.
		The Acclaim is no real head turner but it is stylish enough and certainly fitted in with the boxy look of the early 1980’s.
		The Acclaim is catered for by Club Triumph but it is suspected that many owners will not know this.

		The Acclaim is now in sevice as my everyday car until I know what's hapenning with my Ford Mondeo (it was damaged in an accident on Monday 2nd May) The Acclaim will be making its first appearance at the West Yorkshire TSSC meeting.
		Max the guy at Totally Triumph reckoned that the car would pass the MoT so I decided to have the welding done (charged on the amount of labour which was 3 hours at £20 per hour which I thought was very reasonable) and get it in for the test.
		I phoned Totally Triumph up on Wednesday and I was told that the car had failed on a small hole in the drivers' side sill and Max reckoned that it would be a maximum of 2 hours welding to put it right so I gave hom the go-ahead to do it.

		When Triumph was in full production, during the 1960s and 1970s, it produced many of the best cars on the market.
		In the pre-war years, most of the marque’s offerings were sports cars – and along with the Vitesse and TR series, the heyday Dolomite, produced in the 1970s, established the maker on the map as Britain’s answer to Alfa Romeo.
		"Triumph’s demise was inseparable from the tragic decline of British Leyland," car historian Julian Cartwright told Hoot!.

		The TR2 is the begining of the golden age for Triumph, and is immediatly recognised for its excellent ratio price/quality and its interesting performances.
		The group took the decision to stop the Triumph production in 1981, except for the Triumph Acclaim 1981-1984, which was in fact an Honda Ballade, not aTriumph.
		This souvenir is remaining very strong, due to the fact that the Triumph is not reserved to themost fortunate, but is accessible to a large public, young and less young.

		Before the launch of the Acclaim, plans were drawn up to extend the collaborative deal and codenames were allocated: HD9 was to be a hatchback version of the Acclaim, HD14 was to be a very small car and the HD17 was an executive car.
		Mechanically, the Acclaim was pure Civic/Ballade with the same 1335cc engine, end-on gearbox and independent suspension, front and rear by McPherson struts.

		He said it was worth his checking whether new dampers would solve the problem, and offered to take the Acclaim round the block to see how it handled.
		He had barely gone 200 yards before a BMW hurtled out of a side road, crashed into my wing and forced the Acclaim into a row of cars parked by the kerb, seriously damaging not only his own car but mine and three others.

	CYBERSTEERING - Spot the Car Contest ANSWER - 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).
		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.

		The latter is now rather different compared to when I graduated in the late '80s but all I wanted was a car to get me from A to B without breaking down...
		It had very high gearing (3,000rpm at 80mph) which didn't help and it was a much heavier car than the Acclaim.
		This was partially down to it having a cast iron engine block (mated to a 12-valve alloy head), but the single carburettor configuration didn't help either.

		The Honda badged version was the first Honda car to be built in the United Kingdom (the Honda version of the Acclaim was never sold in the UK); Ballade bodyshells were made in the Cowley plant alongside the Rover equivalent, although they all used Honda engines.

		The Acclaim provided extra cargo capacity, which was a good thing since the TR6 was already loaded with Billimack's stuff and Streepy's stuff was on the ground next to the car.
		Elwood chose to maximize the aerodynamics of the Acclaim by running the air conditioning, and proclaiming that he was getting 35 mpg this way at every gas stop.
