Datsun Roadster 1600 Fairlady

1968 / 2019 FULL RACE REBUILD

Carrying the ‘Sports’ name in the US, this nimble little Roadster went by the more poetic ‘Fairlady’ badge in its native Japan. Conceived by Datsun as a response to the popularity of small European sports cars of the time, our example is a full race spec rebuild of a 1980s SCCA veteran, featuring a new cage and clean, classic livery. Powered by a 1600cc engine with twin 40mm Webers, pushing out 215hp.
