Superb pics! nice jazz and also the acclaim... don't start me on those!! i had 3 in total, all 1983 models, two HLS and a L, i loved them to bits and they are what started my long love affair (and my neighbour) with honda.. i had the 213s after my acclaims (honda ballade again) then i had a rover 416si (92K reg) which was basically a honda concerto, which had a very strong 1.6 16valve pgmfi engine fitted, when i sold it, it had 147,000 miles on it, and it never let me down! it was still on its original clutch!! the last time i saw it, it had 164,000 miles and the owner said it was running like a dream... the last rover that had the honda engine fitted was the newer shape rover 400 series which later became the 45, but it only existed in automatic form.. it had the same engine as my 416si, the standard engine for that rover was of course the K-Series engine. When the 400 auto became the 45 with a tiptronic style gearbox, the honda engine vanished and was replaced by a K series... i only found that the civic style rover in auto form had the honda engine fitted by accident, a friend at work bought one (97 R reg) and when he opened the bonnet i could not beleive my eyes! my old rover was parked beside mine, i opened my bonnet... idendtical engine! he was well chuffed! of course, the 600 series had a honda engine fitted, as well as the 827, which was in V6 form... i have had 3 civics since and on my first jazz... all down to the rover/honda partnership... just as culzean correctly said in everything he wrote.. its such a shame honda did not buy rover, they would still be going strong today, making great cars too... very sad...
