Waizz -- actually the first Fairlady was built in 1959 -- the S211 shown below.

I am well familiar with the vehicle shown in your photos from the Z show; it is an SPL 311 and I have owned a few of them. However, it is not a Fairlady being as it is left hand drive. Outside of Japan, it was called a "Roadster" or a "1600" or "2000" depending on engine displacement. I have been buying, driving, restoring, rebuilding, wrecking Datsuns/Nissans (primarily Z's) since my first 510 in 1975 and have made a point over the years to study Nissan's history.
