Doc Brown and his Delorean just dropped me off in a shitty looking estate in Battersea between August 1st 1980 to July 31st 1981.
That's the only explanation I have for what just happened, as there's no fucking way an OG Mini Metro is in as good a condition as this, outside in winter in 2023.
Its not often I'm stopped in my tracks by a shit car. My eye was first caught by the other car from the same year, the super cool Renault 5 Gordini, such a classy little car,which wiki tells me was the worlds first hot hatch as it was released before the OG Golf GTi.
But I couldn't help just staring at the Metro too, holy shit I don't think even new ones at the dealership back then looked as clean as this, I thought they'd all rusted to nothing. A proper time capsule.
