Small group of people taken aback about country transport (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
estate cars
'small group of people taken aback' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'about country transport' is the wordplay.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'country' becomes 'estates' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'transport' becomes 'car' (car is a method of transport).
'estates' placed around 'car' is 'ESTATE CARS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for estate cars that I've seen is " Vehicles".)
