The Datsun Fairlady 1600 and 2000, designated as the SPL311U and SRL311U series respectively, marked a significant chapter in the evolution of the iconic Japanese sports car. Launched in 1965, these first-generation Fairladys were a departure from the previous models, adopting a sleek and modern design that drew inspiration from European sports cars of the time. The 1600 model, powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, was intended as a more accessible entry point into the world of Datsun sports cars, while the 2000, equipped with a 2.0-liter engine, offered greater performance and a more refined driving experience. Both models featured a unibody construction, a double wishbone front suspension with coil springs, and a live axle rear suspension with leaf springs. These early Fairladys were known for their nimble handling, responsive steering, and engaging driving dynamics, making them popular choices for both road and track enthusiasts.

Despite their popularity, the first-generation Fairladys were also known for their limited interior space, basic amenities, and occasional mechanical issues. Production of these models ceased in 1970, paving the way for the introduction of the more refined and powerful second-generation Fairlady, later rebranded as the Datsun 240Z. While the original Fairlady 1600 and 2000 may not have the same widespread recognition as their later successors, they remain significant vehicles in the history of Datsun and the Japanese sports car segment. Today, these early Fairladys are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, who appreciate their unique styling, classic driving experience, and historical significance. The Datsun Fairlady 1600 and 2000 represent a crucial step in the evolution of the Japanese automotive industry, demonstrating their ability to create affordable yet engaging sports cars that could compete on a global stage.
