“The World’s Four Fastest Seats” was the Iso marketing slogan for the Fidia, the body style is by Giorgetto Giugiaro when he was with Ghia and the power is by Ford.
Iso Fidia – The World’s Four Fastest Seats
This is a sports car that can hold four adults – Italian styling with solid American power – a great combination.
The seller says:
This Fidia was built for an Italian opera singer then sold in Italy to a U.S. Army doctor who brought it to the U.S. where he sold it to the current owner 31 years ago.
It is equipped with the original 351 Ford Cleveland V8 engine, which was stock for that year and a ZF 5-speed transmission.

Look at the condition of this Fidia – that original interior and the low miles. If you were thinking about a Fidia this is the best one that I have seen for sale in a long time. Ask the normal questions like if there have been any accidents – if this Fidia holds up to inspection then it is hard to resist.

Hi Mike. Ron Ciardella here. I just bought a Rivolta with a similar history which was also owned by an opera singer in Italy. I’d like to see if it might be the same opera singer. He had my car as his weekend car in Venice, but I was told he lived in Milan. Maybe he had the Fidia in Milan? Could you contact me with your thoughts or any info you have? Thanks Mike.
Ron,
I will go through my history files from 7 years ago and if I find the contact info I will let you know.
Hi Mike. Happy New Year. Did you ever find any info? I now think the opera singer that had my Sri okra might have replaced it with this Fidia. Any info greatly appreciated.
Sorry Ron, I found nothing.
