Car takes winding mile in winding road — nothing to be lost (7)
I believe the answer is:
daimler
'car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'winding mile in winding road nothing to be lost' is the wordplay.
'winding' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'winding' indicates an anagram.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'to be lost' is a deletion indicator.
'road' with 'o' taken out is 'rad'.
'mile' is an anagram of 'imle'.
'rad' anagrammed gives 'dar'.
'imle' placed into 'dar' is 'DAIMLER'.
'takes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for daimler that I've seen before include "A milder form of a posh car" , "Red Liam has a swanky car" , "Car manufacturer" , "German car pioneer, lead rim (anag.)" , "Make of car" .)
