For 1 point, tell me the year, make and model for the base of this car, and what engine has it been re-powered with?

It's a Mercedes chassis, but not a 18/100.
Not a Maybach airship engine, but close.
Older than 1925.

1914 Mercedes 28/95?

The engine was based on a Zeppelin aero engine and displaced 23 litres!

Yes, that's the one. It's in the Southward Car Museum in New Zealand. It's a 23 litre Mercedes engine, and it's referred to as a Zeppelin Aero engine. So I'm unsure if it was originally a Zeppelin engine, or an Aero engine. If there is any further information, I'll add it here.

Recently the Sinsheim Museum has presented this Maybach engined Mercedes Special.
That seems to be a kind of clone:
