Honda Accord. |

It's the booted Honda Civic which was sold in UK as Triumph Acclaim - in Italy as well? If so would be made in UK. |

We have all Acclaims sign as "model origin UK". It's just the simplest badge engineering. I think they should be "model origin Japan, built in UK". |

I agree... It is after all a Honda in drag. Considering some of the cars that Triumph built this was a sad end for them. |

The clue is the Japanese twin was made simultaneously. |

As the VW Taro/Toyota Hilux-assembling? |
|

Yes... Same car but one made in Japan and the other at Cowley. |

Whatever, done. |

@Sandie: with the Taro/Hilux it was different then. Both versions were mounted at the same time in the same factories. The 2x4-versions in the VW Transporter-plant in Hannover, the 4x4-versions at Toyota in Japan. The 4x4 Taro, too, as I've learned recently. |

Honda version was called Ballade, though was Civic with a boot. |

So much disappeared, that there is no category for these both models at www.mobile.de Same with the Fiat Argenta and the Alfa Arna. |

Aha. New for me, never heard before. The car itself is also known only from car-magazines, I cannot remember, that I've ever seen one with German registration. But same with the Honda Ballade. |

I overtook one driving round the nürburgring a few years ago. It was racing a Dolomite 1850HL. Both with UK plates. |

Just a few minutes after my last posting I found this http://www.merian.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-62320-25.html in an article about Beyrouth of a travel-magazine. @Dudley: you find a plenty of UK-drivers at the Nordschleife. When I had been there some years ago, there was the Porsche 911 Owners Club of GB there, too. They made a club-journey to "The Ring". Many car-enthusiasts-clubs are doing the same, at least every club of any vehicle with just a little racing-history. So not us. -- Last edit: 2010-12-11 16:15:36 |

With side strips and all black bumpers it can be HLS. However, despite in 1983 A-R's brochure side strips are not mentioend as extra option for L/HL, Unipart made such add-on also with silver inserts: http://www.hargreave-mawson.demon.co.uk/AcUnCat6.jpg |
