Took the car from Dover? (5)
I believe the answer is:
drove
'took the car' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'from dover?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (the anagram comes from the same letters).
'dover' anagrammed gives 'DROVE'.
(Other definitions for drove that I've seen before include "Went by car" , "Carried along by force" , "Incited" , "acted like Mr Toad" , "compelled to work excessively" .)
