Datsun 1500 Roadster
The 1964 Datsun 1500 Roadster holds a special place in automotive history as one of the early sports cars produced by Nissan under the Datsun brand.
The Datsun 1500 Roadster, also known as the Datsun Fairlady SP310, was introduced in 1963 and produced until 1965. It was part of Nissan's efforts to establish a presence in the sports car market, particularly in North America.
The 1500 Roadster featured a sleek and stylish design typical of sports cars of the era. It had a long hood, a low-slung profile, and a convertible soft top, giving it a classic roadster appearance. The design was influenced by European sports cars of the time.
Powering the Datsun 1500 Roadster was a 1.5-liter inline-four engine, which was capable of producing around 85 horsepower. While not exceptionally powerful by today's standards, it provided adequate performance for its time and contributed to the car's sporty character.
The 1500 Roadster typically came with a manual transmission, often a 4-speed gearbox. The manual transmission offered drivers an engaging and connected driving experience, which was characteristic of sports cars of the era. The Datsun 1500 Roadster offered spirited performance, especially considering its lightweight construction and relatively small engine.
The 1500 Roadster featured independent front suspension and a live rear axle, providing good handling characteristics for its time. While not as refined as modern sports cars, it offered a nimble and enjoyable driving experience, particularly on winding roads.
The Datsun 1500 Roadster played a significant role in establishing Nissan's reputation for building fun-to-drive and affordable sports cars. It paved the way for future models like the Datsun 240Z, which became iconic in the sports car world.
This car has a known back story and was used as a company car in a Datsun dealership. Today it is in a very good and well preserved condition and only one of 2860 LHD cars.
The 1500 Roadster is highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts of classic Japanese cars. Its relatively low production numbers and historic significance make it a sought-after model among vintage car enthusiasts.
Overall, the 1964 Datsun 1500 Roadster represents an important chapter in Nissan's history and stands as a classic example of a lightweight and enjoyable sports car from the 1960s.
