Corrupt civil judge may ultimately travel in this (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bentley

'travel in this' is the definition.

'corrupt civil judge may ultimately' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' becomes 'bent' (I've seen this before**).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The last letters of 'civil judge may' are 'ley'.
'bent'+'ley'='BENTLEY'

(Other definitions for bentley that I've seen before include "Luxury car" , "Possibly vintage car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
