American saloon re-used anisette bottles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedan

'american saloon' is the definition.
(US term for a saloon car)

're-used anisette bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' indicates a hidden word (bottling is a kind of containing).
'SEDAN' is hidden in the letters of 're used anisette'.

(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Type of chair - battle" , "Old portable chair for Danes" , "Old carrying chair" , "Saloon car (US)" , "Where Prussians defeated French" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
