Description
In the realm of 1960s sports cars, a unique entry emerged from Japan in the form of the Fairlady 1600, later known as the Datsun 1600 in North America. Despite being unconventional for its Japanese origins, it quickly garnered attention from sports car enthusiasts worldwide. Designed with input from Count Albrecht von Goertz, the Fairlady 1600 boasted a sleek and handsome body, adorned with modern features such as coil-sprung independent front suspension and rear leaf springs. This combination of design elements offered a refreshing alternative to the more traditional British, Italian, and German sports cars of the era. Today, Datsun Roadsters remain a captivating choice for those seeking a vintage sports car experience with a unique Japanese twist.
