Heath takes time to get a car (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motor

'a car' is the definition.
(motor can informally mean a car)

'heath takes time' is the wordplay.
'heath' becomes 'moor' (both can mean a type of landscape).
'takes' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'moor' placed around 't' is 'MOTOR'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for motor that I've seen before include "Wheels" , "Make good progress" , "Car (informal)" , "Car; powered machine" , "Engine - relating to movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
