Jay Leno Visits Nissan Heritage Garage

Comedian and car collector Jay Leno visited the Nissan Heritage Garage where he took the legendary Fairlady 240Z for a spin.

For Leno, the garage brought back memories of one of his early roadsters, the Datsun 1600, a predecessor to the 240Z.

“The first car I bought when I got some money was a 1600,” said Leno. “It was a 1964 – a couple of years old.  It was so far superior to the British sports cars of the time – the MGs, the Triumphs – it had roll-up windows, the top you could put up, and it would snap and was water-tight.  It was a very impressive car.”
