rotor

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

'posh car' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'spinning mechanism supplies oxygen to interior' is the wordplay.
'spinning mechanism supplies' becomes 'rr' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'oxygen' becomes 'O' (O is the chemical symbol for oxygen).
'interior' indicates putting letters inside.
'o'+'to'='oto'
'rr' enclosing 'oto' is 'ROTOR'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Machine part that turns around" , "Spinner" , "Chopper blade" , "Arm moving" , "Mechanical turning part" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
