Girl wanting second vehicle for sailor from the east (6)
I believe the answer is:
lascar
'sailor from the east' is the definition.
'lascar' can be an answer for 'sailor' (lascar is a kind of sailor). I am unsure of the 'from the east' bit.
'girl wanting second vehicle' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'la' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wanting' says to put letters next to each other.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'la'+'s'+'car'='LASCAR'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lascar that I've seen before include "Indiaman Jack" , "Camp-follower" , "The East Indian sailor is a rascal" , "Asian sailor" , "E. Indian seaman" .)
