The development process began in 1978, when British Leyland entered into negotiations with Honda to develop a new small family saloon. On 26 December 1979 Michael Edwardes officially signed a collaboration between the two companies, with the project initially known as Bounty but later taking the BL designator LC9. The new car would be essentially a licence built version of the Honda Ballade, with modifications for the European market. The Acclaim was officially launched by BL on 7 October 1981. Its model years run from 1981 to 1983.
