Just a heads up and apologies if a repost.

Alain de Cadenet presents a series on Disc.Turbo called Victory by Design which profiles iconic examples of Maserati, Alfa, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche and Lotus.

Just thought it may be of interest

awesome programme - loving the Alfa programme today

[iandc]

Me too. I love the way he actually drives them and doesn't hold back despite their rarity and value.

[MattOz]

I've really enjoyed this series so far. Still some more good stuff to come

[iandc]

Yes it is a little gem. Nice to have someone presenting who knows his stuff and can show the real performance of the cars. The value of the cars must be immense!! Thanks to the OP for posting otherwise I would have missed it.

Its Ferrari tonight, watching it now, some wonderful cars

[jazzybee]

pure automotive p0rn! I cannot believe I missed this series first time round. I have the amplifier turned up high!

The older Ferrari's really are something else. I think we should do away with CAD styling and insist upon French Curves etc again.

Great program. Enjoyed watching and listening. Alain really does know his stuff.

As an aside - was this filmed at JCB's test track? I note the 250GTO has a JCB sticker on the back.

I think it was filmed at the Bamford estate. Both the GTO's, the '62 and the '64 in last nights program are Bamfords.

Another great programme tonight on Jaguar. Some great cars being given some beans by Alain de de Cadenet.

Absolutely loving this show.

Ford tonight. The views of him driving them from in front and behing the car around a fairly "interesting" track is something else. I love it when he states there is only 1 of a particular car in existence then tanks it round the narrow roads. Best car programme I have seen for some time. The Jaguars last night were superb. Shame they ra out of time when he got to the XJ220 though.

[MattOz]

The Jaguar program last night was great. He gave the XK120 a proper beasting.

Looking forward to Ford tonight. Not sure how many different marques are left, but the cars used in the series so far have been nothing short of sensational. Its not just the cars, which have been fabulous, it's the provenance behind each one used that has made the series even more special. No wonder Alain almost always looks happy.

I think Lotus to come unless I missed that one. Spot on about his knowledge and real in depth understanding of the providence. I like his little mews lock up too!
