The Datsun Fairlady 2000 Roadster is one of Japan’s most desirable early sports cars, combining elegant open-top styling with strong performance and a genuinely engaging driving experience.

This right-hand-drive SR311 example is powered by the desirable 1,982 cc U20 overhead-cam inline-four engine, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and twin side-draught carburettors. Its identification plate records a factory rating of 150 hp at 6,000 rpm. Impressive performance for a lightweight roadster of its era.

Finished in bright red with a contrasting red-and-black interior, the car retains the Fairlady’s distinctive chrome detailing, high-windscreen body and compact two-seat proportions. Approximately 50,975 miles are indicated.

This Fairlady is offered as a project that still requires minor completion. While considerable work appears to have already been undertaken, prospective bidders should inspect the car carefully to establish what mechanical, cosmetic and finishing work remains.

With its desirable two-litre engine, five-speed manual gearbox and right-hand-drive SR311 specification, this represents an exciting opportunity to complete and enjoy one of Datsun’s most collectible classic sports cars.
