A great day to go to Chile, possibly in a carrier (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vehicle

'a carrier' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a great day to go to chile possibly' is the wordplay.
'a great day' becomes 've' (abbreviation for Victory in Europe Day).
'to go to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'chile' is an anagram of 'hicle'.
've'+'hicle'='VEHICLE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for vehicle that I've seen before include "Lorry perhaps" , "Eg, car" , "Conveyance for transporting passengers on land" , "Means of transport" , "Means of conveyance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
