French wine label to tear up, which was driven from interwar years (7,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vintage car

'which was driven from interwar years' is the definition.
(to motor enthusiasts, a car from 1919-1930)

'french wine label to tear up' is the wordplay.
'french wine' becomes 'vin' (I've seen this before).
'label' becomes 'tag' (tag is a kind of label).
'to tear' becomes 'race' (both can mean to rush or run around).
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'race' written backwards gives 'ecar'.
'vin'+'tag'+'ecar'='VINTAGE CAR'

(Other definitions for vintage car that I've seen before include "Automobile built before 1930" , "one for Brighton rally?" , "Transport once" , "old vehicle" , "Old wheels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
