Hi Andreas
The Triumph Acclaim was not a real Triumph but nothing more than a Honda
with a Triumph badge on it. In a 100 years or so these may be collectors
items but for an enthusiast I think you can forget it!
The car was actually quite good for a small car, sporting it was not and it
owed nothing to the Triumph name. Body parts are difficult to find as well
add to this the fact that they do rot very badly means that you could be
buying a very poor car as far as a classic is concerned.
You can see a picture of the car on the link below.

I hope this helps.

Dear Madams and Sirs,
somebody offered me an Triumph Acclaim, with a 1350 cc engine, automatic,
first registration 1983.
I live in Germany and had not seen many Triumphs. My question is:
Is there another name for this car? How looks it, or where can I get photos?
I searched in different Web Sites, but there are only the TR Modells listet.
If anybody could help me with my questions i would be very pleased.
Sorry for my english
Best regards
