The Fidia was driven only very seldom for the next decade, it attended some local (Los Angeles area) shows and in 2012 trailered it to The Quail in Monterey for the Iso Rivolta celebration. Ricky drove it onto the podium and it was introduced by Mr. Piero Rivolta himself. Even though Isos were flown in from overseas for the event it was the only Iso Fidia present, that should tell you enough of this model’s rarity.
It was really the first time I saw the car again up close and it did show some (more or less serious) signs of aging as the previous paint job was not all too stellar. The carburetor acted up and we had the fire extinguisher handy just in case but all went well and it got a lot of positive comments, mainly because very few people ever saw one in the wild. It was trailered back and it again sat for some time before the owner decided to restore it and bring this Fidia back to show condition and that was when I came in…
