Beat-up cars heading off for city abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
angers
'beat-up cars' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angers that I've seen before include "Winds up" , "French city" , "Riles" , "Irritates" , "annoys" .)
