The first fine car to display trouble-makers (6)
I believe the answer is:
trolls
'display trouble-makers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'the first fine car' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'car' could be 'rolls' (short for Rolls Royce) and 'rolls' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trolls that I've seen before include "Peer Gynt dwarfs" , "Mythical Scandinavian cave dwellers" , "Supernatural dwarfs or giants in Scandinavian myth" , "Scandinavian goblins" , "Supernatural creatures of Scandinavian folklore" .)
