Pioneering Honda‑Rover Collaboration
When the Acclaim hit the market in 1981 it was hailed as the first of a long line of Honda/Rover joint projects. The model proved that a British‑Japanese partnership could deliver a successful front‑wheel‑drive family car.
The Final Triumph and Its Honda Roots
The Acclaim was the last model to bear the Triumph name, essentially a rebadged Honda Ballade built under licence from Honda. After its production ended, the first‑generation Rover 200 Series (SD3) took its place in the market.
