I am looking for photos of the Morgan chassis and some information on the dimensions of the ladder frame for my "diorama project".

For example, the approximate dimensions of the Z-profile of the frame (also in cross-section).

Does anyone here have suitable notos and some dimensions?

Many thanks in advance!

Here are some dimensions from my 4/4. They were built to imperial measurements.

Overall length 152"
Wheelbase 97"
Overall Width 56"
Body Tub width 49”
Height 52"

From Rear of chassis to rear axle centre line 30"
Rear Bumper extremity to rear of body panel 5”

Front Axle centre line to front of wing 15”

Chassis rails 2" x 5" x 2" x 3/32

Chassis width: the vertical components of the chassis rails are 36" between inner faces

Here are a couple of pictures of my chassis taken square on, should help you derive the other dimensions

No worries Bernd. If you want to transfer the photos into some sort of drawing app, then I recommend you have a look at Inkscape. It's free and although not a 'proper' CAD tool it's great for drawing up stuff for models.
