The Fairlady 2000 was the final instalment of the 'Fairlady' roadsters manufactured by Nissan starting in the late 1950s. This car was the forerunner to the Z-car in the Fairlady line, sold overseas as the Datsun 240Z. The Fairlady 2000 was succeeded by the Z-series Nissan cars in 1970. The Fairlady's styling was heavily influenced by British 2-seat sports cars like the Austin-Healey and the Triumph TR6, giving the car a slight advantage in overseas markets because of its lower price bracket.
