'items for motorists' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'they hawk round inexpensive' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'inexpensive' could be 'cheap' ('cheap' can be similar in meaning to 'inexpensive') and 'cheap' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'jacks' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
