Hi folks,
I'm not sure if this is the right site, but it's a start.  I inherited my
husband's Datsun 1600 when he passed away.  Living in the city, it's not
the best car for my everyday use.  I am planning on looking into selling
it, and I figured this would be the best place to get an idea of its value.
Please help with suggestions.....much appreciated.

It all depends on its condition. Does it run? Is it rusted? Is it complete or missing parts?Your best bet might be to describe it as best as you can. Take pictures outside, inside, under the hood and if you can bring it to a garage and some photos on the underside on a lift. Was the car kept indoors or outside. What part of the country?If it doesn't run sell "as is" as a project or parts car for the buyer to come and pick up.Good luck.

Not a roadster-specific question, but related to vintage vehicles (my '72 Yamaha): Any tips on tracking down the cause of a battery draining down near flat after a couple of days of sitting? New(ish) wet-cell battery, just topped up the acid this Friday, charged it up. On Saturday the bike started, ran fine (after I cleaned a couple of fouled spark plugs ? two-strokes, you gotta love 'em), but went to try it again this evening and it barely lights the neutral light.

Maybe a bit more difficult on a murdercicle but here's how I do it on a car. Charge the battery so it's at least 1/2 charged, then take the negative cable off the battery. Put a test light between the battery post and the cable end. If there is a drain, the light will light. Now start removing electrical things until the light goes out. (On a car I pull fuses one at a time.) When the light is out you know which circuit to tackle. That might be enough to get you started.

I concur and would start with the charging circuit: betting on a bad 
voltage regulator.? And if you don't have a test light a meter set to 
current (mA? DC) is a nice tool as well (especially if there is more 
than one problem).

I have not touched my roadster in 14 days. It was driven hard and literally
put away wet following the Breakfast Club rally up North 10/10. Allow me to
share a little of my OCD ways...I never leave my roadster dirty for more
than a day. After a drive I wipe it down with quick-detailer spray. Even if
it's not my car, it's what I do.
http://www.zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/IMG_3846.jpeg

So it killed me to see this filthy roadster sitting in my garage, but
surprisingly it stayed this way for two weeks as work and a landscaping
project kept me occupied.

I finally gave it a wash, the first wash since January of 2019 as the
rain/grime was caked on. I took her out for quick drive to dry. Even 15
minutes cruising around was enough to make me smile. I love this roadster.
It was like with every gear shift the roadster was telling me "thank you".

Now, I am relieved. Especially after washing all the family vehicles too :)
