This was the first brought into the UK by Stratton's and was used initially as their press car.
Previously owned by Martin Traynor and featured in the August 2007 Mercedes Enthusiast magazine.

The second was owned by Jeff Lynne of ELO ( Electric Light Orchestra ) and was written off many years ago.
So this is the Martin Traynor example and the Jeff Lynne of ELO Hammer was not written off? Or is the Lynne example, not the same as the Harrison Hammer.

Sincerely,
Confused, lol.

No, the Harrison Hammer is currently owned by Talbir and AFAIK is not nor was it ever for sale since he purchased it. The above one was the one that was restored by a BW member "Vlad" or something along those lines. Talbir's Hammer was a 5.4 I thought and has black burlwood trim and a different interior as the one shown above.

The one currently listed is the only remaining RHD Hammer and has been for sale for some time.
So this is the Harrison/Lynne Hammer?

With a bit of research, it was said that the ELO/Harrison Hammer is one and the same. True?
