A car, if taken to the continent? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

africa

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

'to the continent?' is the definition.
(Africa is an example)

'a car if' is the wordplay.
'a car if' anagrams to 'AFRICA'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'taken' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for africa that I've seen before include "If a car could go to this continent" , "Place" , "Large land mass" , "Burn; fish" , "It stretches from Cairo to the Cape" .)
