I was intrigued how they joined a S3 tub to a set of 6 cyl engine frames as the pictures show the tub to be S3, BUT, the bulkhead is a S2 2+2. Curiouser and curiouser. Perhaps a S2 2+2 converted with S3 OTS panels. The back end is S3 as it has the deeper boot and well for the fuel tank sump. A real bitsa.

I don't pretend to understand ebay but the advert was live 6hrs ago with an end date in 2 days time. The seller's username was "bajanrover". The ad has now vanished but a search of sold items shows the same car with the same image having been sold on 31 Dec 23 and the seller's name was "crazylandrover".
Apart from that, the only S3 parts I noticed were the doors, the handbrake lever, the boot floor, the rear hub carriers and possibly de-flared rear wings. The main floor with reaction plate mounting for the torsion bars was S1/2 2+2 at least as far rearwards as the radius arm mounts although it appeared to have had FHC/OTS jacking points attached part way along. S2 2+2 bulkhead, engine frames and bonnet.
