Datsun – Nissan Fairlady – Genealogy of Japan’s first sports car 1931-1970

Description This book explains the trajectory of Datsun’s early sporty models, up to the Fairlady SR311, which predates the birth of the Fairlady Z, focusing primarily on valuable color catalogs from that era. Datsun, a brand that became one of the origins of Nissan Motor Co., offered sporty models with a unique taste since pre-war times, demonstrating an eagerness to tap into diverse market demands. In 2023, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Nissan Motor Co.’s establishment, the content of the previously published “Datsun/Nissan Fairlady” has been retained, but with a new cover design featuring the “90th Anniversary Logo of Nissan Motor Co.’s Manufacturing.” A limited edition of 500 copies has been produced. ■ “Dedicated to Datsun Fairlady” by Kazuo Hiyoshi History of Datsun Sports Cars: Chapter 1 – Pre-War Datsun Chapter 2 – Early Datsun Sports Cars Chapter 3 – SP/SR Model Fairlady Tracing the Datsun Fairlady through Catalogs: Pre-War Datsun Datsun 10 Model (1932) 11 Model (1932), 12 Model (1933) 13 Model (1934), 14 Model (1935) 15 Model (1936), 16 Model (1937) 17 Model (1938) Datsun Sports DC-3 Model (Released January 1952) Datsun Sports Car S211 Model (Released June 1959) Datsun Fairlady SPL212 Model (Released January 1960) Datsun Fairlady SPL213 Model (Released October 1960) Datsun Fairlady 1500 SP310 Model (Released October 1962) Nissan Silvia CSP311 Model (Released April 1965) Datsun Fairlady 1600 SP311 Model (Released May 1965) Datsun Fairlady 2000 SR311 Model (Released March 1967) Advertisements for Fairlady 2000/1600 Owner’s Manuals Advertising Mock-ups Produced by Nissan USA ■Chronology ■Production and Export Numbers of Fairlady/Silvia ■Specification List ■Roots of Nissan Motor Co. ■References ■Afterword Category：Japanese Car Book Tag：Datsun, Fairlady, Nissan Pages： 140 ISBN： 9784895228022 Release Date: October, 2023 Language: Japanese Publisher: MIKI PRESS Author profile Setsuo Touma Born in Tokyo in 1937, he joined Fuji Precision Industries in 1956 and was involved in development and experimental work.
