[Roadsters] How many are there

[Dan Zubkoff]

>From the SPL212 Vin Tags that I have seen (From cars titled either 1960 or
1961), all the serial numbers denoted they were actually made in 1960.

The Engine Tags on the SPL212s look like:

SPL212-0-00XXX

The '-0-' refers to the year 1960.

For example, I own car #113. It is Titled as a 1961 Datsun, but the VIN is
SPL212-0-00113

The first SPL212 sold in the USA was Car #198 (SPL212-0-00198).

Much like the spl310/311 roadsters in the early-mid 1960s, it was common
practice to title the car based on when it was sold, rather the manufacture
date.

Does anyone know how many 1960 and how many 1961B  1200 roadsters were made.
So far I have heard and read that a total of 288 between both years, but how
many of each year were made?
