The Datsun Sports 1600, officially known as the Datsun SP311 and later the SPL311, was a compact sports car produced by Nissan (then known as Datsun) from 1965 to 1970. It was the first true sports car from Datsun and served as a stepping stone to the later, more celebrated Datsun 240Z. The SP311 was designed to compete with successful British roadsters like the MG Midget and Triumph Spitfire. It was a lightweight and nimble car, featuring a compact body, a powerful 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, and a four-speed manual transmission. The car was also known for its simple and reliable design, with a focus on performance and driving enjoyment. The "SP" in the model name stood for "Sports," while the "311" signified its being the third model in Datsun's "300 series."

The SP311 went through several revisions during its production run, primarily to address initial reliability concerns. In 1967, the model was updated with a revised engine, a strengthened chassis, and improved suspension. This updated model, known as the SPL311, became the car that Datsun is best remembered for. Despite its short production life and relatively low production numbers, the Datsun Sports 1600 developed a strong following among enthusiasts. The car's affordability, accessibility, and engaging driving characteristics made it a popular choice for both amateur and professional racers. It remains a sought-after classic today, appreciated for its historical significance and its enduring charm. The factory service repair manual is an invaluable resource for owners and enthusiasts seeking to maintain, restore, or modify their Datsun Sports 1600, providing detailed information on every aspect of the car, from basic maintenance to complex repairs.
