If I wanted to get the market price for an ISIN, could I do this via FIX ?

Note that I am not asking for the price of an order (as in the execution report) but the market price, even if it was at the close of prior day.

Thnks

Have a look at the MarketDataRequest message which allows you to specify one or more instruments by ISIN and returns a market price through the MarketDataSnapshotFullRefresh message.  
The field MDEntryType is part of the request and lets you define what information you want (current price, price from last close etc.)

Unless I mistaken, MarketDataRequest is not available on FIX 4.2 right ? Is there an equivalent ?

Your original question did not mention a version which normally means the most recent version (FIX 5.0 SP1). FIX 4.2 is 7 years old but it does have a MarketDataRequest message, please check the documentation. Where did you look for it?
