First introduced in 1959, the Datsun Sports - known as the Fairlady in Australian and its home Japanese market - may not have quite made the Japanese sports car an institution yet, but it was a clear sign that Nissan knew exactly what they were doing. Characterful styling, impressive performance and nimble handling meant that the Sports could challenge even the finest roadsters on the market.
This example of the 1600 - first introduced in 1965 - is a particularly fine one, complemented beautifully in a blue-grey metallic colour scheme and a soft top fitted only in 2019.
