1982 Triumph Acclaim | Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

A 1982 Triumph Acclaim, the Honda-based family saloon that became the last car sold under the Triumph name. It is remembered for smooth, willing mechanicals and tidy handling, a step on from the Triumphs before it. In the early 1980s it was everyday British traffic, and it still reads that way. This car is finished in vintage green with a beige interior, a soft, warm pairing that sits well in natural light. It has a 1335cc engine and has been well maintained, and its condition is very good. The cabin seats four, and the uncluttered lines give a clear view of the interior through the glass. Film and television productions can use it as a believable early-1980s hero car or as period background traffic. Photographers, fashion and editorial teams and music video crews get a rich green against a pale interior, with simple lines that stay out of the subject's way. Events, personal hires and weddings gain a quietly retro arrival. The car is based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
