Sailors show girl round vehicle (7)
I believe the answer is:
lascars
'sailors' is the definition.
(lascar is a kind of sailor)
'girl round vehicle' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'lass' (lass can informally mean a girl).
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'lass' going around 'car' is 'LASCARS'.
'show' is the link.
(Another definition for lascars that I've seen is " Sailors".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
