It s a later M chassis for the Essex V6
The Taimar chassis is the same .

Earlier chassis had a curved tube over the bellhousing and the mid outrigger tubes were the same diameter or square section.

Should be lots of interest if your selling it.

This is an earlier chassis arrows show the difference.

It is a Jaguar differential, low handbrake, upright radiator chassis (four holes missing for the radiator brackets) with a missing heater fan mounting bracket (on the upright radiator car the fan is ON the chassis leading edge of the passenger side front) and incorrectly welded on spare wheel bracket (butt welded onto the leading face in error). The 8 clinch nuts are missing for the inner wings. It also has the coil mount bracket on the drivers side (instead of being mounted on the rear of the black). It has longer ...a very good thing, bonnet mounting tubes. It looking like the ARB mounts are slightly forward of OE too. I have drawings of the fan mounting bracket and of the spare wheel bracket/it's position and rake). (to convert it to crossflow radiator ..add rad mounts (top clinch nut bracket/two lower o ring tags, be aware of the handbrake bracket version and handbrake cable tags are only there as it is a Jaguar diff (as they are on the diff frame on other cars).A@

The drawing are on my FB page in files.
