Broughtons is an independently owned luxury car retailer that was founded by Commander Broughton at Number One, The High Street, Cheltenham in 1946. [http://www.broughtons.co.uk/heritage Broughtons - Heritage] "retrieved 09 September, 2008"]

The Bentley dealership in Cheltenham moved to a new site on Rutherford Way in the 1980's and was joined in 2005 by the development of an Aston Martin dealership which won a prestigious 2006 Civic Society Award for its architectural contribution to the historic Regency spa town.

Broughtons has expanded since 2000 and now has a Bentley dealership in Surrey located on the edge of the famous Brooklands race circuit, the home of British motorsport. In 2004, Broughtons opened a dealership in Pangbourne, Berkshire. In 2007 Broughtons became the exclusive distributor in the UK for both Spyker and Koenigsegg supercars and in 2008 became the exclusive distributor for Zagato motor cars.

Each year Broughtons hold an exclusive supercar Grand Tour known as the Broughtons GT. Owners of the world's most exclusive cars from marques such as Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and McClaren Mercedes take part in a transnational tour through Europe. In 2008, the destination for the Broughtons GT:08 was Casino Square, Monte Carlo.
