Leaves container transporting dead cat back in Bentley

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea caddy

'leaves container' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'transporting dead cat back in bentley' is the wordplay.
'transporting' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'transported' mean this).
'back in' suggests the final letters (the 'back' of the word).
The final letter of 'bentley' is 'y'.
'dead'+'cat'='deadcat'
'deadcat' anagrammed gives 'teacadd'.
'teacadd'+'y'='TEA-CADDY'

(Other definitions for tea caddy that I've seen before include "drink dispenser" , "source of refreshment?" , "Container for bags (or leaves)" , "Container for Earl Grey etc" , "leaves container in the kitchen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
