The Jaguar MK VII has a similar disc(s) under the rear seat. I can’t say if it is actually 3” but I do recall seeing it (around 30 years ago) and thinking it was just like the ones in the 2 seater 3000s. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
