I will try to solve the puzzle, only out of my brains,... Maybe, I am totally wrong:
There has been a connection between Gutbrod and Goliath, depending engine-developement (two-stroke, direct-petrol-injection,...)...
It seems obvious to me that they used a Goliath four-cylinder?

Nothing to do with Goliath.

The Brütsch 1200 Coupe hashad a Ford 12M engine installed. May be the Gutbrod too?

Yes, that is the long and the short of it. Egon Brütsch put a Ford engine into this Gutbrod Superior. So this little-known car is a predecessor to the Brütsch 1200.
