Crossword Genius

Taxi, iconic vehicle around Bristol originally (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minicab

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

'taxi' is the definition.
(I know that minicab is a type of taxi)

'iconic vehicle around bristol originally' is the wordplay.
'iconic vehicle' becomes 'mini' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'iconic' bit.).
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'bristol' is 'b'.
'mini'+'ca'+'b'='MINICAB'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for minicab that I've seen before include "It can't be hailed in the street" , "Metered vehicle for hire" , "transport" , "Car used as taxi" , "Type of taxi" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
