Nibel was involved in the development of the original 170H, but this is a different bodied car. Not Porsche designed either.

Do I have to take this as a "No"? :'(
No, it's correct of course! :D
After having a look at my Fleischer book, I can add that Fritz Fleischer built this one for his personal use. It featured a Opel six-cylinder engine. That must have been horrible to drive with such a heavy engine behind the rear axle. He sold it after a short time due to the high petrol consumption.

So, only the chassis came from Mercedes-Benz?
If you define chassis as the amount of steel, rubber and mechanics that remains if you take the body and the engine away: yes.
