A sunny stroll down Edinburgh’s Dundas Street takes a cheeky turn outside Quadrant Antiques, where a retro sign confidently offers to get your Willys serviced here. Whether you’re a Jeep enthusiast or simply in need of a wink and a chuckle, this blend of nostalgia and risqué charm sums up the joys of rummaging through the city’s more eclectic corners. Antique hunting has never been quite so… suggestive.
No appointment necessary — but perhaps bring a mechanic.
