It was on eBay listed as a c16xe..... That's what the blokes selling it as.

I was gonna say x18xe1 an all, looks like that wierd inlet that goes longer and shorter.

Its defo a late spec X16XEL. It is throttle driven so not a Z and also coil on pug rather than the coil pack on the side of the head.
