Magnificent vehicle returning with fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sublime

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

'vehicle returning with fruit' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'bus' (I've seen this before).
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fruit' becomes 'lime' (lime is a kind of fruit).
'bus' back-to-front is 'sub'.
'sub'+'lime'='SUBLIME'

(Other definitions for sublime that I've seen before include "Transcendent" , "Wonderful" , "Of great excellence or beauty, awe-inspiring" , "Majestic" , "Magnificent" .)
