Starts to tour England in country vehicles (4)
I believe the answer is:
utes
'vehicles' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'starts to tour england in country' is the wordplay.
'starts to' suggests taking the first letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'country' becomes 'us' (U.S. is an example).
The initial letters of 'tour england' is 'te'.
'te' inserted inside 'us' is 'UTES'.
(Other definitions for utes that I've seen before include "Vehicles" , "American Indians" , "Native Americans living chiefly in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico" , "little vans" , "New Mexicans" .)
