Get the ultimate Austin Metro Mk1 gear! High-quality 80s car graphics on tees and mugs. Period-correct colours & British humor. Shop Redbubble & Zazzl
If the mere mention of a Hydragas suspension or the distinctive whine of an A-Series engine makes your heart beat a little faster, you’re in the right place. For many of us, the Austin Metro Mk1 wasn't just a car; it was a first taste of freedom, a family workhorse, or the plucky British underdog that took on the world in 1980.
We are thrilled to announce our new dedicated Austin Metro Mk1 Graphic Collection, now available across our Redbubble and Zazzle stores. Whether you’re a lifelong British Leyland survivor or a modern-day retro enthusiast, this collection is designed to celebrate the boxy brilliance of Britain’s most iconic hatchback.
Why the Metro Mk1?
Let’s be honest: in a world of soulless modern SUVs, the Metro Mk1 stands out with more character in its front grille than most cars have in their entire chassis. Our high-quality graphic captures the pure essence of the original design:
The unmistakable rectangular headlamps that defined the early 80s.
The classic "breadvan" silhouette that maximised space (and nostalgia).
A tribute to the British engineering that kept the nation moving.
Wear Your Passion
We’ve expanded the range to include more than a clean-car illustration. Our new "Statement" pieces bring that classic British humour to your wardrobe:
"You fancy me more 'cos I drive an Austin Metro": The ultimate ice-breaker for the confident owner.
"Life's too short to drive German cars": A cheeky nod to the eternal rivalry between Longbridge and Wolfsburg.
"Life's too short to drive boring cars": don't be booooring!
"No one is perfect... but I drive an Austin Metro": Because we know that owning a classic BL car requires a certain level of perfection and a lot of spare parts.
From Coffee Mugs to Classic T-shirts
Our Mk1 graphic looks sharp across a huge range of products. Start your morning with a Metro coffee mug, head to the local car meet in a premium heavyweight t-shirt, or keep the sun out of your eyes while tinkering in the garage with a custom baseball cap.
Period-Correct Colours for the Discerning Owner
