If you ever find a picture of the W150 Innenlenker (sp?) only two of those 'close-coupled' sedans were built on the 150 chassis. I am not certain but I believe I heard that neither exist. Attached is an image of the G4, this one, owned by the Spanish Royal Family. It was given to the royal family decades ago by an early chancellor and has just undergone a ground-up restoration by DBAG. If you can't have one of those or a W196 monoposto, I'd settle for a '61 to '65 W112 300SE, preferably LWB. One day.

The opening credits of the old Hogan's Heroes series comes to mind when I see that vehicle. There's a good write up about the restoration of the Spanish G4 at :http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/top-1939-Mercedes-Benz-G4-Offroader.htm
And some photos of a few other examples of the G4 including what looks like the one from the Hogan's Heroes series.

84 300D Turbodiesel 190K with 4 speed manual sold in 03/2012

I rented and watched "The great escape" the other night. It had a nice collection of prewar cars in it including a thirty eight or so car with very stylish lines on the front end. Cant remember if it was a benz or something else.

Further down the page, the 1937 170H sure looks a lot like a Volkswagon Beetle.
