tr7v8 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well with Eve getting bigger by the day, a four seater Triumph was needed. To my surprise my wife Louise spotted a Dove for sale at a reasonable price. Deal done. it's a shame I have sold off my dad's huge collection of spares. I think I'll find myself buying some back at rather different prices! Cheers, Tom Pringle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Wayne should have mentioned TR Action 330, with its super cover shot, and the 9-page article inside with yet more photos. Good to know that there was once a small Wayne! And his dad, Gary, the tall, bearded fellow, was at Malvern for the recent IWE. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr7v8 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Strange things have happened Wayne, as I, like yourself, have a TR7V8 with bodywork as extreme as a Grinnall and also a Dove. I'd of never put money on it. Now to make the drag car road legal.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had the pleasure of staying in the same B&B as Wayne's Mum and Dad and the car. Spent a very pleasant hour or so with them at the pub next door to the B&B. Wayne is the image of his Father - Diana thought Wayne had aged somewhat when we first met Gary that weekend, not sure if he was flattered or Wayne offended!

Andy Moltu Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 It’s funny how things go in circles. Clear out stuff you’ll never need and then things change. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
