Lease removed from particular sort of car (7)
I believe the answer is:
hardtop
'sort of car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lease removed from particular' is the wordplay.
'removed from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'particular' becomes 'hard to please' (hard to please can mean particular or fussy).
'hardtoplease' with 'lease' taken out is 'HARDTOP'.
(Other definitions for hardtop that I've seen before include "Car with rigid roof" , "Sort of car" , "Type of car with removable roof" , "Rigid-roofed vehicle" , "Car's rigid roof" .)
