I think M83 is actually the best example we can see well from here. Most everything else big and bright from our neck of the woods is either barred, edge on, oblique to our line of sight, or just doesn't fit the grand design criteria. Probably the two closest candidates you are looking for are NGC 6744 in Pavo and NGC 2997 in Antlia.
