Model: Triumph Acclaim, Preston, £400 ono Year: 1982 Mileage: 44000 Tax: no MOT: September 2011 Location: Preston, Lancashire Price: £400 ono Additional Information: Bought this car as a retro run around instead of my work van but never even got passed the extra insurance premium for a new policy and I don't want to see the car deteriorate. Car is very good condition and first time starter with no unusual knocks or rattles, very clean interior. No rot under bonnet or in boot. Only thing that lets this car down are scratches to the bodywork which have started to rust but could easily be sorted before they cause any serious damage. I hope to be able to get photos posted tomorrow when I get down to my workshop. Any questions or pics wanted of paticular ares let me know and ill do my best to sort it out

Its a manual, 5 speed, and i would trust it to drive anywhere. Really is a good runner. Underneath, sills, engine bay and boot are solid as far as i can see, only rust is on bodywork. Slight bubbling i rear arches and rust on bottom of couple of doors. Few scratches which occured before i bought it which are going rusty with sitting outside. Sounds worse than it is but trying to give everyone best description i can. Struggling to upload photos but i can email them to anyone interested if you message me. Alterantively I'm on 07748621455 (Ian)

No problem, need your email address but i have approx 10 photos of the car. It is the HL model, Not fully sure on the unleaded conversion but i know it was getting used for short journeys constantly until i took ownership a couple of months ago so i can only assume it has been done.
