That thing which looks like a brake drum is a deep sump? What about ground clearance, even on a race track?

I am considering buying a small suitcase that will fit under the hood of my 356C, weekends away.
I am not really interested in trying to replicate original luggage, anything that fits and looks good will do.
I am abroad at the moment and cannot take measurements.
Could someone take a few measurements of what would fit, length, width and height.

I have attached a picture which I found on the net, I believe it may be Paul Hatfields, I hope you dont mind me using it Paul.
