230E AMG Hammer 5.6


1986 Mercedes-Benz 560E AMG, Ex-George Harrison, ex-Jeff Lynne

The story of this car is as interesting as it is impressive. Originally it was sold in standard 230E format to Jeff Lynne of the legendary 1970s and '80s band ELO. Jeff Lynne was the major creative force during this time contributing significantly to both the Out Of The Blue and Discovery albums. After a few years, it was passed on to Lynne's close friend George Harrison of The Beatles. The Beatles need no introduction, suffice to say that Harrison was a self confessed car collector and Coys had the pleasure to value his extensive collection some years ago. Harrison was not nearly satisfied with the 230's meagre performance and so commissioned AMG to go through the car and make it 'more interesting'. A 5.6 litre V8 power plant was fitted with the appropriate AMG instrument cluster as well as improved interior leather trim and body kit. Modifications were made to the exhaust system as well as other performance and handling improvements.
