Aventura Motors

Aventura Motors is a classic car dealer and service shop at 625 County Road 39A in Southampton, New York, in the heart of the Hamptons on Long Island's East End. BBB lists the business as starting on August 1, 2002, which makes it more than two decades old. The company sells vintage and collector cars, takes cars on consignment, restores them and stores them, so owners and buyers on the East End can deal with one local operation for most of what a classic needs.

A dealer, a consignment seller and a shop under one name

Aventura sells cars from its own inventory and also sells for private owners on consignment. Its site also describes an in-house restoration, repair and upholstery operation, which sets it apart from a pure sales lot. A 2022 profile in The East Hampton Star described Dean Silvera as the owner and the business as a sales and service facility focused on European models of the late 1950s and 1960s. The company says it serves customers within roughly 50 miles, from Southampton and Water Mill out to Sag Harbor, East Hampton and Montauk.

What Aventura sells

The inventory is mostly European, with some American cars mixed in. The company's site lists Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin among the makes it carries, and says it has more than 36 vehicles at a time. Its ClassicCars.com page showed 42 listings when we checked in October 2026, including a 1957 Porsche 356, a 1964 Porsche 356SC, a 1974 Jaguar E-Type, a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, a 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce and a 1995 Land Rover Defender 90. American cars appear too, among them a 1967 Camaro, a 1963 Corvette and a 1969 International Harvester Scout. Asking prices on that page ran from under $40,000 to about $300,000, so this is a mid to upper market dealer rather than a source of project cars.

Restoration, service and storage

Beyond sales, the company lists these services on its own site:

• Restoration with programs it describes for Austin-Healey, Jaguar, Land Rover Defender, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, including the Mercedes 280SL "Pagoda."
• Service and repair for classic, vintage, European and performance cars.
• Vintage upholstery.
• Seasonal and long-term storage, which the company says totals more than 10,000 square feet across three secure facilities, along with battery tender service.
• Local pickup, delivery and valet support.

Storage matters in this market. The East End has a strong summer collector scene and long winters, and a shop that can keep, maintain and sell a car in the same place is useful to owners who only drive theirs part of the year.

Buying from Aventura

Aventura lists its cars on its own site, and many of the same cars appear on ClassicCars.com and Classics on Autotrader. As with any dealer purchase, ask for the title status and service records, and consider an independent inspection before you commit. The company says it provides complete transactional assistance to foreign buyers and handles title transfer. Because some of the cars are consigned, it also helps to understand selling a classic on consignment, since the terms a seller agreed to can affect how a car is priced and shown.

Consigning a car with Aventura

Aventura publishes its consignment terms on its site, which is not always the case with dealers. As posted, the company charges a $300 setup fee and a commission of "10% or $2000.00, whichever is more." In return it says it details and preps the car, takes professional photographs, answers buyer inquiries and arranges free pickup and delivery. It says cars are shown in person at the Southampton location and marketed on its own site, on eBay, on Hemmings Motor News online and on other classic car sites. Because the page is undated, confirm the current fee and commission by phone before you rely on them.

Reputation

BBB gives Aventura an A+ rating, lists no complaints closed in the last three years, and shows the business as not BBB accredited. BBB has no customer reviews on file. The company's site says it has 141 verified Google reviews, a figure we could not check on Google directly, and a Yelp listing showed 21 reviews in September 2026. Treat those numbers as a starting point, read the reviews for the type of car you want, and make your own judgment on the specific vehicle.
