Again, no points for the coachbuilder.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its driver.

Manufactured by an individual(s) rather than a production company?

Well, I don't want to start a discussion here. It is a Mercedes.

I probably got your hint wrong, I thought it was an early Daimler racer (pre 1900), but since Mercedes appeared around 1901, I thought it was too 'new' and you meant Benz, because it was strongly related to Daimler and because they had some old 'rennwagen' too.
No need to start a discussion, I can always made some mistakes ;)
So that is a Mercedes and was built before 1905?

I hadn't heard of him before.

Mercedes driven by Otto Hieronimus in 1903?
Year is correct, driver is not.

Try to find the location first. Then it will be easier to name the driver I guess.
