Like to swallow, drinking last of gin in car (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
aston martin
'car' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'like to swallow drinking last of gin' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'swallow' becomes 'martin' (martin is a kind of swallow).
'drinking' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are consumed or drunk).
'last of' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'gin' is 'n'.
'to'+'martin'='tomartin'
'tomartin' going around 'n' is 'tonmartin'.
'as'+'tonmartin'='ASTON MARTIN'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
