The car that creates records (5)
I believe the answer is:
rolls
'the car' is the definition.
(short for Rolls Royce)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rolls that I've seen before include "Turns over - luxury car (abbr)" , "Official lists" , "documents" , "Overturns -- luxury car" , "Small rounded breads" .)
