Not a Datsun..But it's Japanese!

They sold 35,000 Datsun 1600 Sports

I'd say less than 50 Honda S600s were ever in country at any time.

True, the datto would stomp them.

The Honda S cars are beautifully constructed and the engine is pure art work.

I would never be able to fit into one.

A friend of mine has a s600 that holds a land speed record at Bonneville for a stock 600cc car. His passes avereaged out just somewhere just over 80mph!

The chain drive is an odd one, there is a differential after the transmission, that has axles that drive two individual chains, one for each rear wheel. It's actually a novel system that basically works as an independant rear end.

I took these shots last christmas, so I apologise for the santa and the dark shots. He takes the car out and puts Santa in the "driver's seat". He tells all the kids he is delivering toys in Santa's red sleigh... It's pretty cool.

The Fairlady Roadster may be a better performing vehicle (with over double the capacity!) but I'm afraid personally, I'd have an S-car over a Roadster any day of the week (except maybe Saturdays). Sorry!
