The Datsun Sports 1600/2000, also known as the "DATSUN SPL 1600/2000", was a sporty roadster produced by Datsun (now Nissan) from 1963 to 1967. These charming cars, known for their lightweight construction and nimble handling, became a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking an affordable and fun-to-drive experience. The first generation of the Sports, known internally as the "SPL310", was introduced in 1963. It featured a compact, flowing design with a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. The 1600 model was powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, while the 2000 model got a larger 2.0-liter inline-four. These engines delivered respectable power for the time, making the Sports capable of spirited performance. Despite its modestly sized engine, the 1600 model could achieve 0-60 mph in around 10 seconds and a top speed of over 100 mph. The Datsun Sports 1600/2000 was highly praised for its driving dynamics. It featured a independent front suspension with wishbones and coil springs, coupled with a live rear axle with leaf springs. This combination provided a balanced and predictable handling experience. Moreover, the car's lightweight construction (weighing approximately 1,800 lbs), contributed to its agility and quick response. The Sports was available with a four-speed manual transmission, but a five-speed manual gearbox became available later in its production run. The Sports' simple, yet effective mechanical design proved to be reliable and easy to maintain. It quickly gained popularity, particularly in the United States, where it was known for its competitive pricing and fun driving experience. The Datsun Sports played a significant role in establishing Datsun's reputation for producing affordable and reliable sports cars. Although production ceased in 1967, the Datsun Sports remains a beloved classic, cherished by enthusiasts for its timeless design and engaging driving characteristics.
