Ring from vehicle little Terry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cartel

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

'vehicle little terry' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'little terry' becomes 'tel' (nickname for Terry).
'car'+'tel'='CARTEL'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for cartel that I've seen before include "Organisation for political or market control" , "Market-fixing organisation" , "Manufacturers' group controlling market" , "Claret (anag)" , "Restrictive suppliers' association to fix market" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
