On the failure of Triumph
In 1981 Pat Bedard, a popular US driver and journalist, wrote this article after the last Triumph sport car produced and talked about what "sport car" meant in its golden age (150s-1970s). His thoughts may explain the reason we're still fascinated by these cars.
The original included article was published in the September 1981 issue of "Car and Driver" which we thank for allowing us to translate it.

Avon Acclaim: adding pace and posh to the LC9
Ladbroke Avon put together an interesting upmarket version of the Acclaim. It was initially only made available through the Henlys franchise, before being offered to a wider audience after the Turbo was launched in 1983. As a result, the Avon Acclaim sold in small numbers – a handful of which, still survive.
