Years before Japanese established a serious presence in the American market, the Datsun 2000 Sports was turning heads on the road and race track.

Offered as a reliable and budget-friendly alternative to its American and European contemporaries, it paired a lively 2.0-liter SOHC inline-four with front disc brakes, an independent coil-spring front suspension, and deep padded bucket seats-an irresistible formula that attracted aspiring racers, including Paul Newman.

The SRL311 generation introduced in 1967 further plied the Datsun Sports with innovation, notably equipping it with a sporting five-speed manual transmission-rare for production cars at the time.

Datsun built approximately 700 examples between March and November of 1967 before emissions and safety changes arrived the following year, making the "1967.5" the most coveted of the series.
