Mercedes Benz 120H-130H-150H
In the early 30’s Hans Nibel & Max Wagner designed a small number of prototype cars (120H), powered by rear-mounted air-cooled 1.2litre 4-cyl boxer (25hp) engine with a 3-speed manual transmission. In-line 4-cyl petrol and 3-cyl diesel engines were also considered

130H
The design would ultimately be put into low volume production in 1934, built based upon a back-bone chassis and powered by a water-cooled 1.3litre 4-cyl (25hp) engine with a 4-speed manual transmission.

150H Sports Roadster
A later model was produced with a more powerful water-cooled 1498cc (55hp) engine.
Six vehicles were produced as coupes, with only twenty vehicles in total produced before the production ceased in 1936.

170H
In 1936 a new model was introduced powered by a rear-mounted 4-cyl 1697cc (40hp) engine, used in the front-engine 170V Roadster.

Production ceased in 1939 following the start of WWII.
