Crossword Genius

Agent leaves vintage car to member of the clergy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vicar

'member of the clergy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'agent leaves vintage car' is the wordplay.
'leaves' suggests deleting specific letters.
'vintage' with 'agent' removed is 'vi'.
'vi'+'car'='VICAR'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for vicar that I've seen before include "Member of the clergy" , "Goldsmith novel ''The . . . . . of Wakefield'' (5)" , "Parish clergyman" , "Parish priest" , "Oliver Goldsmith wrote 'The . . . . . of Wakefield'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
