The show was great, it used to be on the Speed Vision network with a new classic high performance episode every month, And he used to really put expensive cars through their paces on those winding, narrow tree lined roads.
Of course we watch these beautifully made videos mostly for the special cars, but this time I watched to see Alain. I cannot believe he is gone. He was beyond special. The perfect combination of a gentleman and racer. He is missed terribly.
I was sorry to hear of Alain's recent passing. I have the entire Victory by Design series he did on various marques . . . such a pleasure to watch . . . not only the cars, but his knowledge of them.
To watch him nonchalantly drift this priceless treasure on wet roads was anxiety inducing at first but soon we realized Alain had everything well in hand.
Here's all you need to know about Alain, the great racer that the factories allow to drive their museum pieces; he unassumingly owns the world's largest collection of Crocker motorcycles! Awesome dude!
I remember the 375 in a great movie at the time, called the 'Racers'. It starred Kirk Douglas, Bella Darvi, Ceasar Romero, and my favorite at the time; Gilbert Roland. This was the movie that initiated my life-long interest in sportscars; Ferrari in particular. Before Frankenheimer's 'Grand Prix', or McQueen's 'LeMans' this was the best.

Always a pleasure to see and hear Alain de Cadenet talking about . . . anything.
It’s too bad they played music over the sound of the engine. I would have liked to have heard that gorgeous vehicle.
RIP Alain De Cadanet

Class is permanent.
Appreciate Alain's videos of almost any marque, he is close to a walking museum... I love it! Thank you!
sad the engine music is covered with other sound track

I had forgotten what these sounded like !! There was one in La Habra Heights the owner drove to work at LAX !!!!
There is a fantastic DVD on Ferrari cars through the decades presented by Alain De Cadenet.Its part of the victory by design
AdC a real life James Bond gentleman that can manhandle the greatest performance cars ever assembled.
Truly a Renaissance man!!!!!!!
Absolutely beautyful and expressive car!
A stylish man Alain. And classy as heck.
Alain always had as much class as the beautiful cars he drove !
What an incredible machine!!!!
