Her car's a bit old, it seems (5)

I believe the answer is:

carol

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'her' is the definition.
(woman's name)

'car's a bit old it seems' is the wordplay.
'a bit' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'a bit of' mean this).
'it seems' becomes 'l' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'old' is 'o'.
'car'+'o'+'l'='CAROL'

Can you help me to learn more?
