I built this engine with my young son over a year ago, and its been sat in our loft since then!
Still has working batteries!
I have even bought a replacement green timing belt because they have a habit of breaking after a few months.
I will dismantle it and put it back in the box. So it will be a little bit more challenging to put back together.
No missing parts, except one of the timing case covers has a small stress crack in it (not been dropped or anything like that!). Tried to photograph it.
I'm not having it sat in our loft gathering dust, so I want someone else to enjoy it. I thought it may motivate one of my 2 sons to help me build real V8's, but.....no! Computers have taken over our house completely. Looks like NASA in here.
Not one of those tiny, tiny Z4 engines, but a real man, proper, macho engine!!
Here's the technical stuff..........

Suitable for ages 10+
