psdenno Posted November 3, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 3, 2018 Gotta love the old roadsters. My early open sports car experiences were driving MGAs and MGBs. When I checked out the Datsun offerings, the salesman said, "Get a 2000. We only sell 1600s to girls". At the time, I was in the Air Force and headed overseas, so no sale. When I got back to the States, no more new roadsters, that's when I bought my Z. Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
