Borgward Group: Goliath GP 700 E - Restoration project
Two-cylinder 2-stroke engine, 683 cc, 29 hp, direct petrol injection (Bosch). The Bosch pump also supplies a fine oil mist, which is sprayed into the intake tract upstream of the throttle valve. This ensures lubrication of the 2-stroke engine.
Dual tank: petrol and oil reserves kept separate.
A warning lamp on the instrument panel indicates whether there is sufficient oil mist. Normal petrol consumption: around 5 l/100 km. Measured top speed: 120 km/h. (Father used to chase Beetles away...) The water-cooled engine provided pleasant warmth in winter. Good road handling, front-wheel drive, spacious...
I know all this because I went on holiday trips with my parents: Brussels (Atomium 1958), Paris, Trier...
However: while struggling along sandy tracks to the holiday home on the Aller, the engine became so hot that vapor bubbles formed in the injection lines... once cooled down, the engine ran again. This problem led Borgward to install a 1100 cc 4-cylinder, 4-stroke boxer engine in 1958. Goliath 1100. 40 or (with twin carburetors) 50 hp
Professor Scherenberg first installed the direct-injection system in the Gutbrod, then in the Goliath, and subsequently at Mercedes the 3 / 4-stroke direct-injection system for the Gullwing. - so much for the history.
The goliath has been in my workshop for 26 years... I got the engine running - but the welding work and the braking system absolutely need to be done...(I was only able to carry out test drives using the handbrake...)
Spare parts are available.
