In the late ‘60s, the most common small convertible sports car was probably the British-made MGB roadster. But there was a Japanese alternative from the land of the Rising Sun that offered up crisp styling, tight handling and a rorty inline-4 cylinder: the Datsun Roadster.
Initially the 1500 Roadster came to the U.S. with an 85-horsepower four-cylinder, which in 1966 was enlarged to a 1600-cc. By the middle of 1967 Datsun had added a 135-hp, 1,998-cc model as well. Even more rare is the version that came with high performance Solex carburetors and 150-horsepower, the latter an impressive figure its day.
In this video Datsun enthusiast John Lorio talks about his 1600 Roadster and his Solex-equipped 2000 Roadster.
