Maartens Automotive is an English luxury brand. The brand is known for combining flashy looks and performance with modern day practicality in mind.

The team continued to race annually until 1972 when they did not enter the event as they focused resources on developing their first group 5 prototype. They continue to finish to this day with moderate success, with several class wins.
