The Nissan Datsun SP(L)310 was a compact sports car produced by Nissan Motors in Japan from 1971 to 1976. It was marketed as the Datsun 1200 coupé in many international markets. The SP(L)310 was the successor to the 1968 Datsun SSS (Sports Sedan), and while it shared the basic chassis and engine, it was a more refined and sportier car. The car was a popular choice for both enthusiasts and casual drivers, thanks to its agile handling, peppy performance, and relatively affordable price. The SP(L)310 was powered by a 1.2-liter overhead cam four-cylinder engine, which produced 70 horsepower. It was offered with a 4-speed manual transmission or a 3-speed automatic transmission. The car was known for its robust build quality and its ability to handle both city driving and spirited driving on winding roads. Although its small engine wasn't particularly powerful, the SP(L)310’s lightweight design and well-tuned suspension made it a fun and nimble car. Its sleek coupe body style also added to its appeal. Unfortunately, US safety and emissions regulations caused the 1200 coupé to be discontinued in the US market after 1973, though it remained available in other regions. The SP(L)310 was considered a highly successful venture for Nissan, paving the way for future Datsun sports cars, and its legacy continues to be celebrated by enthusiasts globally.
