The Datsun Fairlady 1600/2000, produced from 1965 to 1970, marked a significant chapter in the history of Nissan's sporty vehicle offerings. This compact two-door roadster, internally known as the "SP310," was the successor to the Datsun Fairlady 1500, and represented the beginning of Nissan's long-standing fascination with the open-top driving experience. The 1600 and 2000 models were powered by a 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter inline-four engine, respectively, with power outputs ranging from roughly 90 to 125 horsepower. These early Fairladys were lauded for their nimble handling, relatively light weight, and affordability, making them a popular choice for enthusiasts and weekend drivers alike. The design, heavily influenced by the British roadster tradition, featured a classic, compact silhouette with a long hood and a short rear deck, making it visually distinct from its peers in the market. Beyond its attractive aesthetics, the Datsun Fairlady 1600/2000 was praised for its robust build quality and reliability, attributes that became synonymous with the Datsun brand during this time. The combination of performance, affordability, and durability made the Fairladys a global success story, capturing the imagination of car enthusiasts in Japan, the United States, and Europe. While the lineage of the Fairlady continues today with the legendary Nissan Z models, the early 1600/2000 models remain cherished by collectors and enthusiasts for their charming simplicity, classic styling, and the enduring spirit of an era when sports cars were about the pure joy of driving.
