There's some of us here with SoCalRoc that can verify that a1600 was his first
sportscar. He stopped to chat with us at the MT Wilson turnoff as about 8 of
us were shootin the breeze one weekend some years ago. He had a one off 4
wheeled light weight powered by a Yamaha MC engine. I think he said the whole
car weighed about 750 pounds.

Above

At

Enjoy!

Not a Datsun, but a fun look at a similar car to our beloved roadsters..
