Fury after Britain produces old car (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banger

'old car' is the definition.
(slang for an old, dilapidated vehicle)

'fury after britain' is the wordplay.
'fury' becomes 'anger' (fury is intense anger).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'britain' becomes 'B' (common abbreviation as in GB).
'anger' put after 'b' is 'BANGER'.

'produces' is the link.

(Other definitions for banger that I've seen before include "Old car (colloq.)" , "Old rattling car or slang sausage" , "It might just drive" , "Slangily, a noisy old car or a sausage" , "Noisy old car or slangy sausage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
