Family-friendly car in close to immaculate condition (6)
I believe the answer is:
estate
'family-friendly car' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'close to immaculate condition' is the wordplay.
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
'condition' becomes 'state' (the state something is in).
The final letter of 'immaculate' is 'e'.
'e'+'state'='ESTATE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "Everything one owns -- tea set (anag)" , "One's property after death" , "Property - may go with rank" , "One car" , "My wealth" .)
