About the Datsun Fairlady 2000 SR311 Roadster Silver AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Datsun Fairlady 2000 SR311 recreates the 1960s roadster in silver, doors opening on the metal shell. Used example, box showing traces of storage. The Fairlady laid groundwork Nissan would later build on with the Z-car range.

Long before the Z-car made Japanese sports cars a mainstream proposition abroad, the Fairlady roadster was already proving the country could build a genuine open-top performer, and this silver example makes that early chapter tangible.

AUTOart's Casting of an Early JDM Roadster

The zinc alloy body carries real weight, and AUTOart's tooling holds the SR311's simple, uncluttered roadster lines with genuine crispness along every shutline, a straightforward shape that leaves little room to hide tooling shortcuts. Silver paint suits the car's honest, unadorned character, holding an even gloss across the long bonnet and low doors without patchiness. Doors open with hinge tension that feels deliberate, revealing a compact, driver-focused cabin trimmed simply in period fashion. Shutlines stay tight along the roadster's clean flanks, and the stance sits low and purposeful, true to a genuinely lightweight sports car rather than a styling exercise. Storage wear affects only the box.

An Early Step Toward Japan's Sports Car Reputation

Datsun built the Fairlady range through the 1960s as Japan's answer to European and American roadsters, and the SR311's two-litre engine gave it genuine performance credentials rather than mere styling. That early groundwork fed directly into the Z-car programme that followed, making the Fairlady a genuine ancestor rather than an unrelated curiosity. On a shelf tracing Japanese sports car history from its origins, this roadster belongs at the very start, before the marques and models that later became internationally famous had even launched.
