Out of all of those, I think I'll take the little yellow job with the chrome heads.

Mk XVI judging by the shape of the exhausts

And the TE serial number almost certainly makes it a XVI. Not all XVI had round pipe exhausts however

Am I going mad or are those 'exhaust covers' on the Spit just a bunch of tennis balls on some string?

Cool shots Jacob,

TSC.
