Hans Glas GmbH is a former German automotive company, which was based in Dingolfing. The company was originally founded by Andreas Glas as a repairer of agricultural machinery in 1895 in Pilsing. In 1905 Andreas Glas' company built their first crop sowing machines (seed drill) and relocated the company to Dingolfing in 1905. Post WW2 the market for his seed drill decline and the company branched into building machines for bakers along with sowing machines.

From 1951 they began producing motor scooters and from 1953 load carrying scooters. They also moved into the production of small cars with the mainstay a series of Goggomobils, as well as limited production the Glas 1300 and 1700 Coupes And from 1966 the 2600GT

In 1955 Clas was purchased by BMW the acquisition was mainly to gain access to Glas' development of the timing belt with an overhead camshaft and also to expand production capacity with the acquisition of the Dingolfing plant for the production of the BMW 1500. Most Glas models ceased while some were rebadged BMW until the company was fully absorbed. In the late 1960s BMW closed the ageing Dingolfing plant replacing it with a new factory, As of 2008, BMW's Dingolfing branch is BMW's largest factory, with 22,000 workers

The TS Coupe was introduced as a 2+2 Coupe in 1957 alongside the improved T sedan. It was available as the TS250, the TS300, and the TS400, the number reflecting the approximate engine size in cubic centimeters. The Coupe sold for around twenty per cent more expensive than the Sedan. The only major design change to the TS coupe was the change from rear-hinged suicide doors to front-hinged conventional doors in 1964.

A TS300 coupé tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1957 had a top speed of 59.2 mph (95.3 km/h) and could accelerate from 0 to 50 mph (80 km/h) in 27.9 seconds. A fuel consumption of 50.5 miles per imperial gallon was recorded and the test car cost £625 including taxes of £209 on the UK market.

This car was on display at the Frankfurt Motorshow on the Getrag stand marking that companies 80th Anniversary
