Wonder vehicle pulled up in distance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miracle

'wonder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'vehicle pulled up in distance' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'pulled up' is a reversal indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'distance' becomes 'mile' (mile is a unit of distance).
'car' backwards is 'rac'.
'rac' put into 'mile' is 'MIRACLE'.

(Other definitions for miracle that I've seen before include "It's said to happen by the divine intervention" , "Reclaim (anag) - supernatural act" , "Remarkable and welcome event" , "Supernatural act of God" , "Divinely-inspired event" .)
