Offered here today is a lovely custom 1960 MGA California Speedster. Finished in Indian Blue with a light grey interior and covering just over 1600 miles since a complete rebuild. Built in 2009 by Roger Sheridan of Sheridan Motorsports, a noted Porsche race car specialist, the project started out as a rust free Californian car, it was completely stripped, most of the large body parts were refurbished, a large portion of the small stuff was brand new from Moss Motors. The engine is a worked MGB 5 bearing crank 1800cc with a crossflow head, twin sidedraft Webers and a custom performance exhaust system. The transmission is a Ford Sierra 5-speed. Large sway bars front and rear help the lowered sports suspension keep the car fun through the corners. The wheels are 15 Minilite style knock-offs with 185/65R15 Bridgestone Potenza's. As the photos show, this project was given the greatest attention to detail, even the custom speedster style windscreen looks factory. A hidden Alpine CD player offers Bluetooth connectivity. A box of photos and receipts come with the car.Everything about this car is right, it's a beauty to look at and it drives like a dream. The car is currently owned by British actor Max Beesley of Suits and Mad Dogs fame who has enjoyed it for many years especially on the legendary Mulholland Drive, an activity enacted by many of young Hollywood over the decades.This car has been driven so it's not a garage queen, it does have a few stone chips and the underside is a little dusty, one good weekend with some cleaning products would take care of. I'm selling this car for a friend and would be happy to answer any questions. Tony (310)663-6494
