Wheelbase – Dark Dealings in The Classic Car World
Wheelbase is a high-octane thriller set in the fantastically opulent world of top-echelon collectable cars.
Author Michael Kliebenstein uses his real-life experience of the classic car business to immerse readers in a high-stakes story of multi-million dollar deals, rivals, scammers, gangsters, and more.
More about this book
Classic car trader Mike Chapman is on the verge of closing a £70 million deal – but only if he and his business partner Rick can survive long enough to sell a long-forgotten collection of exotic Italian sports cars.
Unbeknownst to them, one of the cars is hiding something ugly, something dangerous: a link to a powerful European network of organised crime. Suddenly, late payments, cloned cars and timewasters are the least of their problems, and what looked like a straightforward sale becomes a fight for their lives.
Can Mike's grit, his friends, and his expertise prevent him from falling victim to his shrouded foes? And can he prop up his business, and bring the collection home, to secure the most significant trade of his career?
