A beautiful, right-hand drive, SP311 1600 Fairlady, imported in 2013 by a highly regarded Nissan race team principal.

And for once, a decent write up and description ending in :

Often described as a Japanese copy of the MGB but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In point of fact, the Datsun pre-dated the introduction of the MGB by several months, and any styling similarities are coincidental, a great conversation starter at any classic car meeting, hill climb or sprint event.

Hi Sean,

It belongs to Bob Neville, owner of RJN motorsport (now Jensen team rocket RJN). He offered it to me but unfortunately I don’t have the money for it at the moment. Nice car, had a lot spent on it too.

Thanks Tom.

- Potential access to events such as Goodwood with supporting JAF/FIA homologation papers and a letter from NISMO confirming build date pre-May 1965

Access to Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic etc also.

- Similar spec Fairladys were raced in the USA by the likes of Peter Brock and Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen ? Paul Newman surely !
