Tell, perhaps, that woman to follow damaged car (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

archer

'tell perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman to follow damaged car' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'her' (pronoun for a woman).
'to follow' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'car' is an anagram of 'arc'.
'her' put after 'arc' is 'ARCHER'.

'that' is the link.

(Other definitions for archer that I've seen before include "Arrows one sends" , "launcher of projectile" , "Arrow shooter" , "One uses bow and 30ac" , "was more roguish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
