According to the Reutter book it's based on a MB 230 not a 200 and the year is 1937.

According to Werner Oswald it is a Typ 200 lang Stromlinien-Spezial-Limousine from 1935 and was on offer for RM 9400 in 1935 only. The normal 4 door sedan cost just RM 5700. I'm not sure about the Jaray connection as it looks much more conventional than the 1934 Typ 200 Jaray prototype.

Will scan the page from the Reutter book tomorrow.

I know both books, just wanted to point out the differing opinions about this rare bird.

I own the O.-book, too, but my pic stems from a paper clipping from an old magazine essay about streamline history (maybe ADAC Motorwelt...)
Unfortunately I forgot to scan the main text essay, too, where it was claimed to be a Jaray design. (top photo)

At the bottom you can see the pic from the O.-book:
