Crossword Genius

In this spot, car follows English city (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hereford

'english city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in this spot car follows' is the wordplay.
'in this spot' becomes 'here' ('here' means in this location).
'car' becomes 'ford' (Ford is a make of car).
'follows' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'here'+'ford'='HEREFORD'

(Other definitions for hereford that I've seen before include "Place" , "Lower" , "City on the River Wye - cattle breed" , "cross breed of cattle" , "hardy breed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
