In America it was known as the Datsun 1500. This SPL310 was based on a modified Bluebird 310 sedan platform instead of the truck platform of earlier models. It featured an 85 hp 1.5 L (1,497 cc) G15 engine.This car is an 85 HP dual carb 2 seater model which was built in 1964 and 1965. A four-speed manual transmission was the only shifting option and has a non-syncro'd first gear. This model is most commonly referred to as the 2 seater 1500. As this suggests, this model has 2 seats, the novel 3rd seat was dropped for 1965. People often mistakenly think when they see this car, that it is a car that the owner has made it up from the parts of a 1500 and a 1600, but it is actually a changeover model that has some of the features of the soon to be released 1600 Sports. It continues to use the mechanicals of the previous 1500 model but it has a different interior, with a silver/grey painted dashboard with 2 large round guages and 5 smaller ones. The air intake on the bonnet is a little taller and the bonnet has individual "D-A-T-S-U-N" badge. Badges on the side say "Fairlady" and the back badge says "Datsun 1500". 1123 of this model was made.
