Acquire gold carriage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landau

'carriage' is the definition.
(type of horse-drawn carriage)

'acquire gold' is the wordplay.
'acquire' becomes 'land' (I've seen this before).
'gold' becomes 'au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'land'+'au'='LANDAU'

(Other definitions for landau that I've seen before include "Old four-wheeled covered carriage" , "Four-wheeled vehicle with two folding hoods" , "A four-wheel covered carriage" , "Horse-drawn, folded-top carriage" , "Transport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Irish Times and The Telegraph.
