Just the car for a man of property (6)
I believe the answer is:
estate
'property' is the definition.
(I know that estate is a type of property)
'just the car for a man' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'car' could be 't' and 't' is found in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ese' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "Nakedness" , "all the deceased owned" , "House and grounds" , "park perhaps" , "Houses - car" .)
