Production Years:
The SR311 Fairlady 2000 was produced from 1967 to 1970. The mention of a 1965 model in the product title might refer to an earlier Fairlady model (e.g., SP311 with a 1.6L engine) for which this manual *also* provides coverage, or it could be a slight inaccuracy in the product listing, with the core coverage being for the 2.0L models that began production later. The manual's extensive coverage suggests it might encompass variations across the early Fairlady sports car line.
