Supply a noisy model T, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afford

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supply' is the definition.
(I know that afford is a more specific form of the action supply)

'a noisy model t perhaps' is the wordplay.
'noisy' becomes 'ff'.
'model t perhaps' becomes 'ord' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'ff'+'ord'='AFFORD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afford that I've seen before include "Able to bear the expense" , "Provide (an opportunity)" , "Provide; manage to pay for" , "Have the financial means" , "Have enough money to pay for" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
