The Datsun 1500/1600/2000 Roadster, also known as the Datsun Fairlady in certain markets, is a sports car produced by Datsun in Japan from 1961 to 1970. It made its debut at the Tokyo Motor show in 1961, several months before the roll-out of the MGB. In 1966 engine displacement was boosted to liters and power output to 96 hp (72 kW). This new model was given the new designation SP(L) 311. The 1600 Roadster was produced until the end of production in April roadsters, especially the 1600 and 2000, became regular winners on the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) circuit, winning 10 national SCCA championships.
