Country road Tim found in car with never an end (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

croatia

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

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Croatia is a country)

'road tim found in car with never an end' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'car' could be 't' and 't' is present in the answer.
'road' could be 'ai' (resembles A1, a major UK road) and 'ai' is found in the leftover letters.
'an' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for croatia that I've seen before include "Balkan state, became independent in 1991" , "European republic, became independent in 1991" , "European state" , "East European country" , "Country of S. Europe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
