Styling garage

] Styling Garage (also known as SGS, Styling Garage Schenefeld, Styling Garage Pinneberg and Design+Technik) was one of the most authoritative car tuning and coachbuilding companies of the early 1980s.

The company was founded in 1979 by Ralph Engel and Christian Hahn in Pinneberg near Hamburg, Germany. The company went bankrupt in 1986. Almost right after that, a new company was founded by Christian Hahn named Design+Technik.

Styling Garage core business was converting and upgrading luxury cars to an even higher level. Most cars converted were Mercedes-Benz 500SEL and 500SEC. Conversions included fitting Gullwing doors, conversion to stretchlimo, conversion to cabriolet. Also new interiors were fitted including leather upholstery, TVs with VCR, high-end stereos, refridgerators and Recaro sportseats. Styling Garage also converted some non-Mercedes cars like a Porsche 928 with Gullwing doors and a Rolls-Royce which was stretched and widened at the same time.

Customers included many sheiks, Arabian Princes, the Sultan of Brunei and several Hollywood actors.
