Baur Karosserie is coach builder that's been around for probably close to a 100 
years.  Did the coach on some of the Horch's and a few other Auto Union cars as 
well as other manufacturers.  They have been doing BMW work for decades (1000, 
2000, 3000 series cabrio's) and I understand their building the "Z" series as 
well.

Baur not only produced the SQ body but also did the majority of the welding and 
assembly of the chassis.  For you Porsche fans all 959's were produced and 
assembled at Baur.  I find it amazing that both Group B, awd plastic cars built 
by the same shop.

Today, known in the auto sector for quality prototypes and short run production 
vehicles they have done work for almost everybody in Europe at one time or 
another.  If anyone ever gets a chance to tour their facilities go for it you 
will not be disappointed...a very unique side of the business.
