Small sports car won't accommodate a third wheel? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

two seater

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

'small sports car' is the definition.
'two seater' can be an answer for 'car' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'small sports' bit.

'won't accommodate a third wheel?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'accommodate' could be 'seat' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'seat' is found within the answer.
'wheel?' could be 'o' (O looks like a wheel) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for two seater that I've seen before include "car, maybe" , "sports car?" , "Small vehicle" , "car, perhaps" , "possible transport for newly-weds in air" .)
