I can't get 8d. Any hints? It's a mental block. My brain, that is.
I still can't believe it took so long to spot 25a. Stoopid mental block.

Hi Minno,

8d - 4 letter "cunning" + 6 letter "fancy cars" but it's the plural of one specific (Jaguar) car and is hyphenated so 1-5 - definition is "models" as in the original ones.

I’d much prefer ‘classic’ to fancy!

Thanks all. Got it. I wasn't helping myself by thinking it was two five letter words. How that happened I don't know.

Thanks buddy.
I get your explanations but:
- apps = mobile phone use?
- Queen = heart?
- so there = end of story?
All very tenuous for me.

Hi quocunque
Apps is a homophone clue.

Hi Jono,
Fancy in 8d lured me into trying to fit a anagram of cars so I'd say it served its purpose.

I get that mystogre, but for me "mobile phone use" and "apps" don't equate. Try using them interchangeably.
