DBS 59

Stunning

[Mr.Tremlini]

A lady you say Bob...

Certainly not a dainty one sipping Earl Grey on the lawn!

[hornbaek]

Wow - superb. !

[Neil1300r]

That is stunning. The DBSS has the best external shape of all the new models and IMO is better than any of the previous Gaydon generation.

What is disappointing, is that despite having a 50 / 50 chance of winning the Euro Millions this week it wasn't me so I still can't afford a DBSS

beautiful

[MO55]

Thank you gentlemen for your complimentary remarks. For those of you that like me live and thrive in Aston Martin Geekland,,, if you open and expand the pic of the gorgeous rear end of Lady Moss, you will observe embedded in the aero blade a bronze foil which displays the VIN number of the # 4 car driven by Stirling Moss at the 1959 Le Mans race.

nice extra detail

[CSK1]

Looking very nice indeed. Love the colour combination and little details!
Wishing you all many happy miles!

[KevinBird]

Just noticed there are three for sale all with less than 150 miles so they can't have been driven back from Le Mans?

Put on trailers perhaps ?

[MO55]

I think only 2 cars were driven back from Le Mans by their new owners. The rest returned home on the transporters.

[cayman-black]

They really are very lovely. Love the plate MO55.

[Beefmeister]

Shame to see four of the 24 up for sale. I guess circumstances change, but one would have assumed these are a heart over head purchase and would be keepers.

[cayman-black]

And a £50k price difference between them.

Talk about Aston Martins being mileage critical.

If the DBSS 59 Editions do all have the same specification, then the adverts appear to indicate an extreme mileage dependence. -

£350,000 = 115 miles.
£299,850 = 1,196 miles.

Or more likely they were grossly over priced and the " used " one is more representative of their worth ??

In a word 'surreal'. This pic at the Hotel de France, home from 1953 of the Le Mans David Brown Aston Martin Racing Team and remained so for the rest of their racing years. Yes that is Andy Palmer and Simon Lane, obscured is Simon Sproule the Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Aston Martin since 2014. Marek Reichman arrived later. They were all there,,,,, I'm not sure 'surreal' covers it really.'



This is DBR1/5, the last of the 5 cars produced. A privateer car build by Motor Works with parts from the factory for Graham and Peter Whitehead. It did compete at the 1959 Le Mans race but a crash rendered it unable to continue.

Love the DBSS cars guys, disappointed I missed them on track last year.

Do like a run down the D304 and back to the base of Aston and then Gulf GT40s and Gulf 917s. Has one of the great straights stretching to the horizon.

Good quality video of 1959 with modern commentary ( No 7 (900 BH) shown from about 2.10):

Sorry to bump an old thread, does anybody have an exact colour code or colour name for the 59 Edition, we have a customer who is very interested in using the shade on an earlier Aston.

[Petrus1983]

I would imagine AM would help you out on that. Off topic but I bought AM shares today wondering where the bottom could be - so if you don’t get any joy I’ll phone up as a share holder

[AstonZagato]

Simon Lane (on here and on Twitter) would know. He's a nice chap and I'm sure he'd respond to a PM.
