English vehicles for Welshman? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evans

'for welshman?' is the definition.
(common Welsh surname)

'english vehicles' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'vehicles' becomes 'vans' (van is a kind of vehicle).
'e'+'vans'='EVANS'

(Other definitions for evans that I've seen before include "Common Welsh surname" , "Lee --, British comedian" , "Welshman" , "Female writer's real name" , "Dame Edith -, English actress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
