Evening Imagcq,

2 & 4 0n first scan

I've just seen #3. Only one to go now.

Sorry I meant #2 (I've already got #3).

Anagram SPECIMEN
1 Motorcade
2 Subtraction
3 Instep
4 Egoistic
Thanks for the work-out Imagcq.

1- MO T OR CADE (T in moor, Cade [English rebel])
2- SUB TRACTION
3- IN STEP
4- E GO I STIC
SPECIMEN

Thanks for these, imagcq.
Here is my stab at them.

1) Convoy brings rebel to dock receiving time inside (9)- MOTORCADE?
Dock- moor receiving time t, giving “motor” with Cade (Jack Cade- rebel) giving motorcade- convoy?

2) Taking off vessel's pulling power (11) SUBTRACTION?
Vessel – sub, with traction- pulling power, giving subtraction – taking off?

3) Popular move, in part of Oxford or just like all the others? (6) INSTEP?
Triple definition: Popular- In + move – Step; part of Oxford – a shoe, which instep is part of ; and “in step” – just like all the others?

4) Selfish English travel with current staff a little short (8) EGOISTIC?
E for English with I for electric current and stic(k) a staff a little short, giving egoistic – selfish?

This gives MESNIPEC, which renders as SPECIMEN?
Thanks again,
AB

Thanks imagcq
As AB, except that I tried to make CADETSHIP fit for 1 (unsuccessfully, of course!)

Evening all. Nice little turn out this week. A big thank you to all who played, looked or just had a bash!

The final anagram is indeed SPECIMEN

Congratulations AB Aristo and Rossim on the full complement of answers. (i did it alphabetical)

Once again thank you all for your continued support.

I hope you like the clip (its a rare specimen!)

ABs parsing the same as mine all except


4) Selfish English travel with current staff a little short (8)

E travel=GO current= I(N) staff= STIC(K) short/cut off


And CHEERS! (cant believe i forgot that from the first post Cheers! again

I also took i as the symbol for an amp (unit of electric current) if my school Physics is still in there somewhere.
