DESCRIPTION

When did you last see a Datsun SP311? This is a model that just pre-dated the MGB to market and has a lot of similar engine components made under licence. Known as Fairlady in the US, this beautifully presented example was previously part of a private collection in a dry US state hence its amazing condition. It is now UK registered / MoT'd and ready to go. The paintwork, in particular, has an outstanding glass like finish after its bare-metal restoration.

It's also worth noting that this is an early "" short windscreen "" model which has opening quarter lights, features lost on post-'68 models. The previous extensive restoration added a new soft top and various chassis components just to make sure it was on the button.The Fairlady apparently is much nicer to drive than its MG competitor and we understand that this particular car drives as well as it looks with that distinct Japanese quality that we have all become familiar with in recent years. The interior is all original and has a lovely patina. The car comes with a hard top, a new tonneau and that lovely 60's boot mounted luggage rack. We understand that there are only three of these currently on UK roads. Dare to stand out and be different.
