Broughtons are luxury retailers of the world's most exclusive motor cars with sites in Cheltenham, Berkshire and Surrey, England. The company is independently owned and was founded by Commander Broughton at Number One, The High Street, Cheltenham back in 1946.

The Bentley dealership moved to a new site in Cheltenham on Rutherford Way 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 of Surrey is located on the edge of the legendary Brooklands race circuit, the home of British motorsport. The site of the dealership maintains Bentley's long established racing connection with the historic circuit.

Broughtons has expanded in recent years from their traditional offering of just Bentley motor cars to today offering Aston Martin, Spyker, Koenigsegg and Zagato motor cars as well.

Each year Broughtons hold an exclusive supercar Grand Tour known as the Broughtons GT. The event sees owners of the world's most exclusive cars from marques such as Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and McClaren Mercedes embark on a transnational tour via the most spectacular roads in France, Switzerland and Italy. In 2008, the destination for Broughtons GT:08 is Casino Square, Monte Carlo.
