Identify this Tamiya on Ebay

[Jason1145]

Can anyone name this chassis this VW Beetle shell is sat on?

I've asked the seller but no response, maybe my translation to German was kerplunk! ;p

M-04L by the looks of it

Tamiya M04L - Tamiya P/N 58383 - https://tamiyabase.com/tamiya-models/58383#data

Can't tell if the shocks are a single laydown like the M02L or two upright ones like the M04L

Could it be the M02L - Tamiya 58173 - https://tamiyabase.com/tamiya-models/58173

They're quite tail-heavy - I had the BMW Roadster version and it was a pig to drive if it wasn't going straight (I been spoilt by 4WD and FWD chassis) 

M06 was a massive improvement

Pity that as I want to add in a Rear Wheel drive to my fleet and liked the look of this Beetle.... ha.. they also offer it on a M06 chassis under P/N 58572 which can be made into S,M and L variations!

They are a challenge on the track, but fun offroad. Perhaps a set of rally blocks and slightly longer shocks will make it better able to enjoy its element? A few more decals and it could quite easily pass as a Class 11 Baja racer.
