There are new wires , plugs ,altenator , clutch cyl ,battery , carbs rebuilt ,and electronic dist .

Blast to drive...

Your car looks GREAT, especially for a car that is almost 40 years old! I always thought those were cool cars when I was a kid, haven't seen one around for a LONG time! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, yeah the car is older than me by a few years...

the previous owner was a roadster fanatic, so it lived a pampered life, it isn't a show car by any means, but a great Sunday driver and local show driver.

The previous owner has a prestine restored one that his wife drives around town, and he was working on a frame off MG.

Nice. I had a 1600 Roadster. I loved that car and wish I still had it. Great historical racing car.

I used to crew and fabricate parts for a friend who ran a 2000 as a SCCA D Production car for many years on the west coast. Great car, learned a lot about the sport, and started a life long interest. Fantastic find, now go have fun.

The Solex Datsun 2000's are 150 hp, not 135. The dual SU carb version is the one with 135 hp.

Quite a coincidence - I just got home today from a 500 mile trip to pick up one of the exact same cars!! It is even the same color!! I had a SU carb version in the 1970's that I bought new in Okinawa when I was in the Air Force. I always regreted selling that car, so I finally replaced it with a great car I found on ebay.

Wow small world..
congrats on the purchase, I was watching that one on ebay to see what it would go for..
The Solex option form the factory added made a total of 150 hp.mine has Mukini(solex) I doubt it puts out 150.

Our colors are similar but mine is origial OEM, your looks to be a nice dark cherry metalic paint, looks to be in great shape.

If your not already on www.311s.org I recommend visiting.

also look at datsun.org

Good Luck

Thanks for the link. I had been searching for any forums etc. on the roadsters (that's how I found your initial posting), but hadn't found that one yet. Yes, mine is not the original Spanish Red like yours - the seller told me on the phone prior to my purchase that it was a repainted car. It was originally like yours and he was unable to have it duplicated.

I do have a very nice 1991 525i and a 1999 740i and used to be a regular on the dedicated forums for those cars.

It was nice to see your posting on the 2000.

Very nice. I had a friend I worked with in the 1980's that had one like this (only silver) as his daily driver. Back then it looked (and ran) like a 10+ year old used car, but it was fun for rides when we went to lunch in it. Yours is much nicer than his ever was and I am sure just as much fun.
