Unfortunately, the Datsun has no "Heritage." Japan was not the land of
birth of sports cars as was England - but hey, where are AH, MG,
Triumph, Daimler, AC, etc. NOW????
But wait, will Nissan become Renault?
The 67.5 2L is the definitive roadster in my opinion, but all are nice,
especially the models with the flat dash.

Regarding Steve Landuyt's comments about the desirability of a 69 2000,
I'd
like to poll the list members (who seem to know a hell of a lot more
about
the subject than I do), about just which model is considered the
"marquee"
version of the SRL/SPL series. It seems that there are a lot more 1600
than 2000 owners on this list, and I'm curious as to what you see as the
positives of the 1600 vs the 2000. I to own a 69 2000, and I love it.
I'm
trying to keep it as original as possible, although I question as to
whether or not that really adds any financial value to the car. I have
never been able to figure out why these cars aren't more sought after.
I
was told by someone that the price ran up about 10 years ago when the
Japanese bought whatever they could find, but hasn't budged since then.
I
have seen what appear to be pretty decent examples in the $3000 range,
which wouldn't even touch a dilapidated British sports car. Any
thoughts?
