The Datsun Fairlady 1600 SP311, often referred to as the SPL311, is a classic sports car that embodies the spirit of the 1960s. Introduced in 1967, it was the first iteration of the iconic Fairlady line, a name that would become synonymous with sporty driving and Japanese automotive prowess. The SP311 was built on the platform of the Datsun Bluebird 510, sharing its wheelbase and engine. However, the Fairlady 1600 received a distinct body design, sporting a sleek, two-door roadster body with a rakish windshield and a low-slung profile. The exterior design captured the spirit of the era, offering a blend of sporty elegance and practical functionality. The car was also equipped with a sporty interior featuring bucket seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a simple, functional dashboard.
Under the hood, the SP311 housed a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission (a five-speed transmission became available later in the car's life). This engine, capable of producing around 90 horsepower, propelled the car to a respectable top speed while offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The Fairlady 1600 was praised for its nimble handling and responsive steering, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking an affordable and engaging driving experience. Although production ceased in 1970, the SP311 left a lasting impact on the automotive world, paving the way for future generations of the iconic Datsun Fairlady, and ultimately, the Nissan Z. Its combination of classic design, spirited performance, and relative affordability continues to make the Datsun Fairlady 1600 SP311 a sought-after classic among car collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
