Nostalgic of late describing archetypal 1960s cars (11)
I believe the answer is:
reminiscent
'archetypal 1960s cars' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'nostalgic of late describing' is the wordplay.
'nostalgic of' becomes 'minis' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'late' becomes 'recent' (similar in meaning).
'describing' is an insertion indicator (describe can mean to form the outline of).
'minis' placed within 'recent' is 'REMINISCENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reminiscent that I've seen before include "Like Proust, perhaps" , "Stirring memories" , "Evocative" , "Bringing back" , "Recalling" .)
