Fine German city close to motorway (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bonny

'fine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'german city close to motorway' is the wordplay.
'german city' becomes 'Bonn' (city in Germany).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The final letter of 'motorway' is 'y'.
'bonn'+'y'='BONNY'

(Other definitions for bonny that I've seen before include "Attractive (Scots)" , "Good-looking and healthy, like Scottish Prince Charlie" , "Good-looking in Scotland" , "Pretty (in Scotland)" , "Healthy-looking (Scots)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
