Aston Martin Vantage 59 AMR With Manual ‘Box Is A Proper Driver’s Car

A rare 2020 Aston Martin Vantage AMR 59 has hit the used car market and with the British automaker set to soon abandon manual transmissions, could prove to be quite a collector’s item in the years to come.

Aston Martin revealed the limited-run Vantage AMR in April 2019 and produced just 200 examples. Of these, the final 59 units were designed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Aston Martin’s win at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans and feature a Stirling Green paint scheme with Lime accents.

This car is one of those 59 models and sits on forged 20-inch wheels with a Textured Black finish and wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The car also has Lime-painted Brembo brake calipers and carbon fiber across the badges, roof, front lip, rear diffuser, and side skirts.

A look inside the cabin reveals leather and Alcantara upholstery with a ‘Dark Night’ finish that’s contrasted with Lime accents. Key features include memory sport seats, the Q Dark Chrome and Carbon Fiber Jewelry Packs, keyless entry, a 360-degree camera, cruise control, and navigation. The Bring a Trailer listing adds the car has been driven 5,200 miles (8,368 km) since it was delivered.

The limited-run Vantage also has a number of options, including the AMR Halo Pack that cost $22,000, a $2,300 premium audio system, and the Tech Collection that adds $3,000 to the price. The window sticker reveals the car had a price of $218,581 when new.
