Six vehicles for clergymen (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vicars

'clergymen' is the definition.
(vicar is a kind of clergyman)

'six vehicles' is the wordplay.
'six' becomes 'VI' (Roman numerals).
'vehicles' becomes 'cars' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'vi'+'cars'='VICARS'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for vicars that I've seen before include "those taking tarts to party" , "clergymen" , "Members of clergy in charge of churches" , "Ministers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
