Company car is bashed in French region (7)
I believe the answer is:
corsica
'french region' is the definition.
(Corsica is an example)
'company car is bashed' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'bashed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'car'+'is'='caris'
'caris' with letters rearranged gives 'rsica'.
'co'+'rsica'='CORSICA'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for corsica that I've seen before include "French island off W Italy, birthplace of Napoleon" , "French territory" , "Napoleon's island birthplace" , "Napoleon Bonaparte was born on this French island" , "Mediterranean island, chief city Ajaccio" .)
