Yes, the donor was a Mercedes-Benz. Now, this was the easy part :)

Let's give you a little clue: builder is from Dortmund and the family business is still active, but there's no word on this car anywhere on their site.

Was the builder a Mercedes dealer? (like Rose still is!)

No, the guy who built this was involved in, let's say, the auto-parts business. Not a mechanical part, but a part. Today the company, which bears his name is being run by someone else. He's still active in another field.

I never heard about this guy, just found this article from 1971...
It says that the guy who built this planned a yearly run of 15 units. I doubt it ever happened

Was Hans Gunther Schmid, of ATS wheels fame, from Dortmund?
Duncan Rollo

Is the company 9FF Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH of Dortmund?

No, it was a rather unknown company, and as I see it, the family is loosely connected to the automotive industry today

This is the 1969 RIBEC, built in Dortmund, powered by a Mercedes Benz 600´s modified engine.
It was supposed to be built in little numbers - obviously it turned out as a one-off...

I´ve found the same pictures in a 1969 "auto motor und sport" magazine:

Congratulations!  :bow: :applause:

There's a small tipo: Walter Ribic built this car, you can find his bio at Ribic Systems.

And you are probably right, Swiss Automobile Revue probably just took over the article from AMS a little late.

Anyhow, two very well deserved points have been added to your tally!

Contacted the Ribic-company in Dortmund. Maybe I get a phone call of Mr. Ribic later...
