Rascal moving houses thus caught offering outdated conveyance (7,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

classic car

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'outdated conveyance' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rascal moving houses thus caught' is the wordplay.
'moving' is an anagram indicator.
'houses' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'thus' becomes 'sic' ('thus' in Latin).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'rascal' anagrammed gives 'clasar'.
'sic'+'c'='sicc'
'clasar' enclosing 'sicc' is 'CLASSIC CAR'.

'offering' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for classic car that I've seen is " Writings not considered genuine".)
