The car world is full of fascinating characters, but few have a story to tell quite as remarkable and inspirational as Tom Hartley. Walking out of school at the age of 11, unable to read or write, Hartley set up his own business buying and selling cars. From that moment on he defied logic and ripped up the rule book on his way to the top. Today he runs one of the most successful independent family run luxury, performance and classic car businesses in the world, and has built up an unrivalled reputation as 'The Dealmaker.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom has been at the top for over 40 years, survived and thrived through four recessions, and overcome three life threatening illnesses. In his own brutally honest words Hartley tells his gripping story of a boy from a traditional Romany family who swapped the classroom for the cut-throat world of Glasgow's car auctions, buying and selling his first car at the age of 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHartley had made his first million by the age of 17 — this is not just a book for car enthusiasts but for anyone who has dared to dream. Written in collaboration with Ken Gibson, award-winning Motoring Editor of The Sun for 24 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Engineering Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55360483000649,"sku":"9781787117204","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/7811\/1305\/files\/IMG-3707.png?v=1789621529","url":"https:\/\/engineeringbookshop.myshopify.com\/products\/tom-hartley-the-dealmaker","provider":"Engineering Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
