Fancy limousine's ejecting European dictator (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mussolini

'dictator' is the definition.
(Benito Mussolini, Italian dictator)

'fancy limousine's ejecting european' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'ejecting' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'limousines' with 'e' removed is 'limousins'.
'limousins' with letters rearranged gives 'MUSSOLINI'.

(Other definitions for mussolini that I've seen before include "Wartime leader" , "Il Duce" , "Benito -, Italian dictator" , "ruler" , "WW 2 Italian leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
