The second installment for Daily Turismo’s Time Change Tuesday feature is an entry from the far east. The S30 generation Datsun Z car was first released for the US market in 1970 and lived until 1978 with each few years bringing bigger bumpers and less power. Consequently, the earlier cars generally command more money. But […]
The Datsun Fairlady was a small roadster from parent company Nissan, produced from 1959-1970, and marketed as the Datsun Sports or Datsun 1600 Roadster in regions outside of Japan. It was however a fantastic alternative to 2-seat roadsters from Britain and Italy and are quite affordable today. This 1966 Datsun Fairlady 1600 roadster is equipped […]
