Our Story
From a two-bay garage on Putnam Avenue.
What began as a one-man Ferrari restoration shop in 1986 has grown into a discreet sales-and-service house with a 22,000 sq ft climate-controlled showroom. Still on the same block.
Charles Marston bought his first 308 GTSi the year he turned twenty-six. He restored it in a friend's two-bay garage on Putnam Avenue, sold it eight months later to a collector in Connecticut, and used the proceeds to buy two more. By 1989 the garage had become Marston Motorcars, and Charles had a waiting list of buyers who trusted his eye for an honest car.
For thirty-nine years the formula has not changed. We sell motorcars we would willingly keep in our own collections. We turn down five for every one we accept. We stand behind every transaction with our name on the door. Because the door is still the same door, on the same block, run by the same family.
Today the showroom holds between twenty-five and forty motorcars at any given time. Our clients are collectors, family offices, museum trustees, and the occasional first-time exotic buyer who was sent to us by someone we sold to in 1998. We are deliberately small. We intend to stay that way.
