Tea crates transported in suitable vehicle (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estatecar

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

'suitable vehicle' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tea crates transported' is the wordplay.
'transported' is an anagram indicator.
'tea'+'crates'='teacrates'
'teacrates' with letters rearranged gives 'ESTATECAR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for estatecar that I've seen is " station wagon".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
