Win gold for coach (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landau

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'coach' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'win gold' is the wordplay.
'win' becomes 'land' (both can mean to secure or obtain).
'gold' becomes 'au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'land'+'au'='LANDAU'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for landau that I've seen before include "Old four-wheeled covered carriage" , "An auld type of carriage" , "Four-wheeled vehicle with two folding hoods" , "Four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage" , "A four-wheel covered carriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
