(iv) Duchatelet: 'Beginnings' simply signifies the first letter of the following text.

(vi) Fiat is a Car and D is latin for 500

Well done.

Some of you are far too clever. I just stare at them. Nearest I’ve got to an answer is Fiat 500, and I’m fairly sure the answer is not Italian monkey

I really wanna comment on this thread, but I ain't got a clue what you're on about

Redskin

I've just realised I haven't put the number of letters in the answers. If you're unfamiliar with cryptic crosswords they must seem nonsensical, but hopefully seeing the explanations of the answers might make them a little clearer...

Horses for courses; I feel the same when visiting finance or IT threads.

You're on the right tracks; but the whisky comes before Ascot. Stole is also close, see Addicted's answer.

Black and white scarf would be 5,3,5,5. Is it that?

Redskin

It is, Thai. I mucked up the number of letters in the clue, I'm afraid...
Black & White is a whisky, Ascot is a type of scarf.

May I add another six clues? Possibly a bit easier, but they always look easy when you set them.

1. A tinker becomes an executive. (7)

2. Sound like up to now it might be comfortable. (4)

3. Governmental Department entraps the Queen. (9)

4. Keyboard is not in the office! (6,3)

5. To be different, I trust Millwall's ground. (2, 7)

6. Start with irrational number of bottomless dumplings and end up with nothing. (9)
