By Michael Kliebenstein
2026 review by Peter McFadyen
It’s rare to have the opportunity to write about a work of fiction here but as, according to Publishers Weekly, fiction accounts for around half of total UK book sales and growing, why not.
Wheelbase II is the second thriller from author Michael Kliebenstein whose first work for Porter Press International, Superfinds, explored remarkable car finds in the 1960s and 1970s and quickly sold out. It is set in the opulent world of top echelon collector’s cars taking in organised crime, gangsters and multi-million dollar deals as it follows the adventures of two classic cars dealers who become entangled in a dangerous battle to retrieve another priceless find.
Kliebenstein can call on more than 45 years in the automotive world as collector, restorer and marketing expert with a passion for collectable cars so perhaps there could be more than a grain of truth in this, the second volume in the series whose first volume was published in 2024. He is currently working on the third.
