The first time we reviewed a Z series datsun was in 2016, things have changed a lot since then. In fact, it seems that, as happened in the past for other models (and other brands), one day someone “woke up” and, seeing the prices reached by “mainstream” cars, looked for some other classic car that,… Read More Fresh and red: 1971 Datsun 240Z
The Datsun Sports 1600 (also known as “Fairlady”) has enjoyed some success in the USA and, given its characteristics, would have been successful in Europe too if it had been officially imported. This model was designed by Albrecht Graf von Schlitz, Gen. von Goertz von Wrisberg (best known as Albrecht Goertz), the man who designed… Read More Recommissioned: 1967 Datsun Sports 1600 Roadster
This car and I are peers but I believe that the car looks actually better than me even though it’s not a show level car. Of course a weekend car or a daily driver doesn’t neccessarily be a show car, on the contrary, it’s better to have a car you don’t have to worry for… Read More Semi fresh: 1973 Datsun 240Z
The 1968 edition of one of the cutest roadster ever made, the Fairlady/Sports 2000, had some changes over the previous year among which, the most visible is a taller windshield. The seller says that this car was his father’s and now both him and his sister own this car, so he can’t accept any trades… Read More Tall windshield: 1968 Datsun Sports 2000
Maybe this is a car which can be easily seen in the U.S. or Japan but it’s quite rare to spot one in Italy,a country where, of course, a japanese sports car had few “space” among the local sports cars. The seller says that the car was imported from Switzerland in 1977 (they came usually… Read More Uncommon sight: 1977 Datsun 240 Z
There are few ways to sell a car: most of the seller, i.o.o., believe that the car will sell itself but most times they’re wrong. Indeed it’s a well known rule (by marketing people) that you don’t sell a thing but the dream related to it: the seller of this little japanese hot-rod has understood… Read More Nothing’s missing: 1969 Datsun 510
This model was known as Fairlady but that was the home model name: outside Japan the official name was “Sports”. This car belongs to the last series produced which had some major improvements like a five speed manual transmission mated to an inline four, 2000 cc, SOHC engine producing 133 hp. It was raced in… Read More Italian wannabe: 1969 Datsun Fairlady/Sports 2000
This little japanese roadster belongs to the last batch of Fairlady (SR311) produced, featuring the U20 sohc engine (2000 c.c. and 133 h.p.), front disc brakes and a taller windshield than its 1600 c.c. predecessor. Back then it should have been a cheaper alternative to italian and british roadsters. Less than 2000 cars were produced… Read More Hardtop included: 1968 Datsun Fairlady 2000 Roadster
