Excitedly celebrate getting rid of car - an old VW (6)
I believe the answer is:
beetle
'vw' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'excitedly celebrate getting rid of car' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters excited or stimulated into a new form).
'getting rid of' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'celebrate' with 'car' taken away is 'elebte'.
'elebte' with letters rearranged gives 'BEETLE'.
'an old' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beetle that I've seen before include "drawing game > has to hurry" , "Let bee loose about this insect" , "An insect; a ramming tool" , "Insect; dice game" , "Insect with hardened forewings - scurry" .)
