Have any of you owned a Datsun roadster?ĭatsun originally had a license to make its own version of Austin cars, as I understand it, and they patterned the first several years of cars coming here after their BMC counterparts.
It could use a nice detailing and that air cleaner doesn’t look real clean. It’s “grumpy” when cold but runs good once it warms up. It has somewhere over 67,000 miles on it and it gets used a couple of times a month and has always had premium gas in it. The engine should be Nissan’s 1.6L inline-four with just under 100 hp. They show us the underside and surface rust rears its ugly head, even in Arizona. They also mention that the clock doesn’t work but the other gauges work and the soft top is need of replacement. Arizona is tough on interiors and they say that the carpets are in ok condition but there is a small rip in the driver’s seat.

Other than a cracked padded dash, the interior looks good. Hagerty is at $7,400 for a #4 fair condition car and $13,700 for a #3 good condition car so this one could be a good deal.
It also comes with a hardtop as you can see in the above photo, which adds some value. This car looks great to me, not perfect by any means but a great car to get your feet wet on the Sports/Fairlady roadsters. At least in the US, both the 16 models were made at the same time from 1967 until 1970 when Nissan came out with the famous 240Z. The 1600 version came between the 15 cars and they were on the market from 1965 to 1970. One myth is that Nissan copied the MGB, but that car came out a few months after the Fairlady hit the market in Japan. I can do without the slotted mags and white walls, but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing on this great looking car. This example can be found here on eBay in Gilbert, Arizona with less than a day left on the auction, no reserve, and a current bid price of $7,200. It checks a lot of boxes for me, being a one-owner car, an Arizona car, and I’ve always wanted one. This 1967 Datsun 1600 Roadster was known as a Fairlady in some other markets, a name that probably wouldn’t have worked in the US.
