Sorry to burst your bubble Bevin, but there was a limited release  of 186 
X2's (this why I was so keen to get hold of one of them when I did) - 
they had several problems with their overhead valve gear and lifters - in 
my case the problem was solved by the use of "solid lifters" instead of 
the standard hydraulic lifters. They also had problems with fibre timing 
gears - this was overcome by replacing with steel gears from the 179's

They were soon redesignated to 186S -

The only real difference was :

The X2 motors had twin down draught carbies while the 186S had a single 
side draught carby (if I remember correctly)
