1982 TRIUMPH ACCLAIM HLS TRIO AUTO

The Acclaim HL was mid-range specification with improved trim.

Acclaim: Mechanicals: Honda Ballade-based - reliable, unlike typical BL products. Final Triumph carries badge engineering stigma but actually well-built. Engine: Honda 1.3 - bulletproof. Rust: BL body construction is the weakness. Check sills, arches thoroughly. Values: Cheap, rising slowly as final Triumph. Budget £500-1k annually.

2000 Roadster (more power), Acclaim HLS (top spec), Good rust-free example
