Classic Formula One car (5)
I believe the answer is:
lotus
'classic formula one car' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for lotus that I've seen before include "Exotic flower" , "Water-lily; yoga position" , "TREE" , "Mythical fruit inducing state of luxurious dreaminess" , "We forget having eaten this" .)
