Reply With QuoteWelcome aboard! I almost bought a Datsun 2000 a few years ago (but I bought another 1st gen RX-7 instead) - you sure don't see too many of those old Datsuns around...
Here's a pic for reference, kids...
Hi everybody, got me a 99
Hello everyone, I have been sitting on the sidelines watching all this crazy stuff for a few weeks and thought I would jump in. I have a 99 I just finished fixing after a close encounter with the rear of a truck........loaded with everything but the sport package, hardtop too. 82k, 5 speed, some new Kumho's I need to scuff in, etc. All stock in the power dept........I had a Datsun 2000 Roadster for 30 years so am not new to this foreign convertable thing..........most of you young guys are going Datsun 2000 Roadster?? about now I know. Anyway I hope to make it to a Wed night get-together soon. See you on the road, Craig Bush

Welcome to the fun, the more on Wed the more fun we have
Blah blah blah!
Hello.
My first car was a German built 1974 Ford Capri. Looked like this but was yellow. I also had a white one as my second car.
I still wish I had one. That Datsun 2000 roadster is pretty sweet. Why'd you get rid of it?
Welcome! Still have your VFR? I had a '99 VFR800 that I loved!
Welcome. I have owned an MGA 1600, a Triumph 650 Thunderbird and a BSA 650 Lighting. I have also ridden a James 125 and an Ariel Square Four. Off road bikes have been an OSSA 250 Plunker and a Montesa Cota 125, among others. Some of us have been to more than one rodeo.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

I'm an avid Sport Compact Car reader, so a Datsun 2000 Roadster is well spoken of and fairly rare.

Welcome aboard.
I grew up with my parents owning 2 Datsun 1200's. One in Orange and the other in Midnight Blue.
Not nearly as neat as the Datsun 1600/2000, though.

I was the second owner of my Datsun 2000, I bought it in 74 and sold it in 06........man, I must be old..........drove it until about 76 then marriage, kids, self employment and divorce all conspired for a restoration that was never to be. Sold all the parts I had acquired on Ebay, sold the car to a kid in Plano who has it running (so if you see a baby blue 2000 in Plano its my old car), took my $, bought a crashed 99, fixed it and still have some $ in the bank. I consider the Miata the modern day version of the Datsun Roadster except it rides a lot better, handles a lot better, stops a lot better and the A/C is a lot colder. And yes, I still have my 1996 Honda VFR750 although I hate and never ride in Dallas. I have been taking trips to Arkansas for so long I don't even have to get out the maps, am looking forward to taking the Miata there. thats enough for now, thanks for the welcomes........
Last time I was at the car section of Love Field Antique mall, they had a Datsun like yours on the floor for sale. Sometime in Jan., I think. May still be there... Great car! You'll love your Miata, though! Welcome!!
welcome, do you have any before and after pics of the miata?
