Parking after five in the morning seeing Lorelei? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vamp

'lorelei?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'parking after five in the morning' is the wordplay.
'parking' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'v'+'am'='vam'
'p' put after 'vam' is 'VAMP'.

'seeing' is the link.

(Other definitions for vamp that I've seen before include "18 across musically -- seductress" , "Give new face" , "(In music) repeat phrase (until ready)" , "Improvise unskilfully" , "Seductive and exploitative woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
