I assisted the book keeper and also worked on the old cord switchboard which was in a kiosk just outside the office. I was an American student, living with my grandmother for the year. I had to quit Dove's as I was truant from school in order to work there. I had lied about my age in order to work. I loved the job!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566922702040210836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836246.post-76711676402587174072019-12-11T23:46:11.544+00:002019-12-11T23:46:11.544+00:00Two Triumph Dove' cars are in Australia .

I drove it until 1991 before selling it to a Melbourne buyer . I later imported into Australia another Dove' albiet in pieces . I reassembled it and later sold it to another Melbourne buyer.Both cars still exist and are still in Victoria area .I passed the second buyer a folio of original paperwork given to my family by the Chairman of the Dove group of companies P.M.H.James . In the folio was the original two Sales Catalogues they produced (both 4 and 4a models)along with the original factory publicity photos as the GTR4 cars were going to be sold to the European Common Market at the time . garrie hisco adelaide Aus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725338876146306286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13836246.post-85993722938437774032019-07-15T07:47:40.572+01:002019-07-15T07:47:40.572+01:00The delivery was made my car from your company.
