Crossword Genius

Destroy shed — limo wrecked (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demolish

'destroy' is the definition.
(I know that destroy can be written as demolish)

'shed limo wrecked' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shed'+'limo'='shedlimo'
'shedlimo' with letters rearranged gives 'DEMOLISH'.

(Other definitions for demolish that I've seen before include "Knock down, a building or argument perhaps" , "Eat up" , "Knock down, say a building" , "Destroy completely" , "Pull or tear down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
