Keeping an eye on it - but not clear on if it's an S1, S2, S3 chassis, or where on earth it came from though...

Does seem a stange place to find it?
Looking at the pictures and the holes in the bulk head is a LHD tube?

Looks LHD as you said John. Very strange... there are a couple of Mini rolling shells in the background.

I've asked the guy selling a question - asked him which series it is. Should prove interesting to see if he (or she) knows anything about what they are trying to sell...

It's a LHD early chassis... although you can't see the back the front bracketry is not from a Mk3 (or newer) and judging by the rest of the tub it's for a Mk1.
I have pics of a Mk3 tub for comparison, the front end is markedly different... on that basis I would also rule it out as a Mk2 tub.
Oddly, the newer chassis are made for both LHD and RHD and you just fit the components you need.... looking at the differences, it does not seem (caviat) that diffidult to make it a RHD if you wanted to.

As it's in a similar area to GM Partsworld, maybe it's a chassis that has proved surplus to requirements from Stewart Halstead's LS2-engined Series I project that was canned by MMC last year. Just speculating.

Depends who you are.... and what you want it for...
General rule is only the factory as re-tubing a car is not cost effective.
So all chassis tend to be for new cars... some exceptions for "special projects" and race teams?
