British missile in simple vehicle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'simple vehicle' is the definition.
'barrow' can be an answer for 'vehicle' (barrow is a kind of vehicle). I'm unsure of the 'simple' bit.

'british missile' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'missile' becomes 'arrow' (arrow is a kind of missile).
'b'+'arrow'='BARROW'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barrow that I've seen before include "Small hand-propelled cart" , "Cart for carrying small loads" , "Grave mound - wheeled handcart" , "Handcart; burial mound" , "old burial ground" .)
