Crossword Genius

Horse-drawn carriage is attractive, apparently (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hansom

'horse-drawn carriage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'attractive apparently' is the wordplay.
'attractive' becomes 'handsome' (I've seen this before).
'apparently' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'handsome' sounds like 'HANSOM'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hansom that I've seen before include "Old horse cab sounds attractive" , "Two-wheeled one-horse carriage" , "Two-wheeled horse-drawn covered carriage" , "transport from the old days" , "One-horse cab" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
