How do you tell if the engine is a 105bhp or a 130bhp model?

I know it says on the label under the bonnet, but what if the label isn't there?

Is there a way to tell just buy looking?

I've phoned someone about one and he don't know which one it is

also take the oil filler cap off, if the cams have a pointy tip they are 130 spec, if they are more rounded egg shape then 105.

take inlet pipe off and measure the TB, it should be 52mm

it shold have a MTX75 gearbox with lift reverse

rear discs

also it should be fairly quick, not slow as piss lol.
