Is that a mark 2 Ford cortina?
If so, then that car is almost 60 years old.
And even though the photographer is from the UK, I suspect that the location of this shot is somewhere with a drier environment.
If it was the UK, we'd be looking at a 60 year old pile of rust sitting in the gutter.

@roonie apparently it's in front of Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap Museum.

Because someone took an almost identical picture of the scene in 2018: https://unsplash.com/photos...
