Hi,
        The Datsuns you saw were probably the "fairlady" done in the
60s.  The latest ones, just before the 240Z looked much like MGBs. 
There were two versions. Tthe 1600 was a poor performer compared to
the B.  It was a 1600 cc engine coupled to a four speed.  The 2000 was
a 2 litre street rocket (I owned a 1969 version).  Red line at 7,000 rpm
with a 5 speed.  Top speed well in excess of 120 mph.  Used to have a
great time blowing off tr6s.  Car was fast but had no soul (another
conversation).
