The sixth vehicle for a churchman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vicar

'churchman' is the definition.
(I know that vicar is a type of Priest)

'the sixth vehicle' is the wordplay.
'the sixth' becomes 'VI' (Roman numerals).
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'vi'+'car'='VICAR'

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for vicar that I've seen before include "Local priest" , "Parish priest" , "See stand-in" , "Parish clergyman" , "clerical worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
