1972 Iso Rivolta Fidia IR10 review from Netherlands
"Design masterpiece by Giugiaro"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust (like on all old Italian cars).
Automatic gearbox with only reverse, (only 1400 euros and they had to take out the engine too).
Steering unit is overheating because it sits next to the exhaust.
Switches for electric windows.
General comments?
A design masterpiece by Giugiaro, 1967.
You must see it "in the flesh" and the color is very important to its shape.
Very fast, even today with its 300/325 or 350hp engines.
Rust is a big problem.
Spare parts can still be bought from the factory.
Easy to repair.
