Drove to Rome, perhaps, and Land's End (7)
I believe the answer is:
motored
'drove' is the definition.
('motor' can be a synonym of 'drive')
'to rome perhaps and land's end' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'land' is 'd'.
'to'+'rome'='torome'
'torome' anagrammed gives 'motore'.
'motore'+'d'='MOTORED'
