The Datsun Fairlady, known as the "240Z" in some markets, is a legendary sports car beloved by enthusiasts for its affordability, performance, and iconic styling. The 1600 and 2000 models, produced from 1970 to 1973, represent the first generation of this iconic car. The Fairlady 1600 was powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, producing around 100 horsepower and reaching a top speed of roughly 100 mph. This model was mainly sold in Japan, featuring a simpler design and focusing on affordability. However, the Fairlady 2000, known as the "2000SR" in Japan, became a global success. This model boasted a larger 2.0-liter inline-six engine, offering more power and torque. It was capable of reaching a top speed approaching 120 mph, making it a formidable competitor within the sports car market. Both models featured a lightweight chassis, independent suspension, and disc brakes, providing a balanced handling experience. The Fairlady 1600 and 2000 were renowned for their agile performance, making them popular choices for enthusiasts seeking a fun and engaging driving experience.

The styling of the first-generation Fairlady was a design triumph. It was characterized by long flowing lines, a distinctive fastback design, and a low-slung silhouette. The front end featured twin headlights and a grille resembling a shark's mouth, creating a unique and aggressive look. The interior of the Fairlady was practical and functional, offering a simple dashboard with essential gauges and controls. The bucket seats, a common feature in sports cars of the era, provided comfort and support during spirited driving. The Datsun Fairlady 1600 and 2000 were produced in Japan but exported worldwide, attracting a global fan base. Their combination of performance, affordability, and style cemented their place as iconic sports cars, popular among enthusiasts to this day. The Fairlady, especially the 2000 model, is often considered the car that put Datsun on the map as a serious sports car manufacturer and paved the way for the highly successful Z-car lineage that followed.
