1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster review from North America
"Greatest car I ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Old age has not been kind.
Used to replace batteries on a regular basis.
Convertible top was a hassle until I replaced it with a convertible hard top.
Difficult to find mechanic to work on SU carbs.
Parts almost impossible to find.
General comments?
Fastest thing I've ever driven - 141 mph electronically timed at Ontario Motor Speedway in 1971. Got it up to 131 mph on Nevada freeway before speed limits.
Classic look that still draws attention.
Never was comfortable, but I never cared.
