Transport bacon — ham's off! (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hansom cab

'transport' is the definition.
(hansom cab is a kind of transport)

'bacon ham's off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bacon'+'hams'='baconhams'
'baconhams' anagrammed gives 'HANSOM-CAB'.

(Other definitions for hansom cab that I've seen before include "Horse-drawn two-wheeler" , "Victorian means of transport" , "Two-wheeled one-horse carriage" , "Taxi forerunner" , "Victorian transport - mob has can (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
