Contact a local investigator. If the license plate was issued locally, you may want to hire a private investigator to track down the owner of the vehicle.
Look online or in your local phone book to find the names and contact information for private investigators near you. Hiring a private investigator can get expensive, so if you have any budget limitations you need to discuss costs upfront. Most governments require private investigators to be licensed.
Ask for the investigator's licensing information and make sure it's valid and up to date. Talk to the investigator specifically about what you want and why. Find out if they've done similar searches in the past, and whether they were successful in finding the vehicle's registered owner.
Research any investigator's background and experience. Before you hire a private investigator, you need to do a little investigating on them to make sure they have a good reputation and can get results. You also can check for reviews of the investigator online. If the investigator has a license from the city or state where they operate, see if you can look up their license number online. Check their license record for discipline or other negative marks. Sign a contract with your investigator.
Before you give the investigator any money to start work, get the specific terms of your agreement in writing. You need to know how long they will search for the owner and how they will report their findings to you. For example, you may want the investigator to call you before incurring any additional expenses above a certain dollar amount. The contract also should discuss what type of report you will receive at the end of the investigation, and whether the investigator will contact you to give you status updates over the course of the investigation.

With so many Jensens in his collection it makes sense for Rodger to have one of the very last cars to bear the name he actually owns two. First shown at the British Motor Show, the SV8 quickly ran into problems and just 20 were made before the project was sold on to SV Automotive which built another dozen cars.
This is one of those later SV8s. As a die-hard Aston Martin Lagonda fan, Rodger just had to buy one of these original Lagonda four-door sedans. Just 55 Rapides were built between and , each one fitted with Aston's 4. It was the same engine that the DB5 used and thanks to low values for years, many Rapides were broken for their running gear.
Now these cars have become very collectible and vales have risen accordingly. Rodger isn't afraid to add multiples to his collection - he's got plenty of pairs and triplets, partly because he buys stuff without knowing what he's already got. This is a pair of fifth-generation Quattroportes, current from until It's been a long time coming, but at last the original BMW 8 Series is starting to become rather desirable.
Next to the 8 Series is an original 6 Series. Who doesn't love a Bentley? Part of the W S-Class range launched in , this sedan is one of the more affordable variants. If ever you needed proof that Rodger's collection is utterly unpredictable, this one picture just sums things up. Rodger buys what he likes A rather obscure classic this one, in a highly unusual color scheme. Despite the bright hues the Lanchester was a heavy car with rather stunted performance as a result. But it was advanced for its time with its coil-spring independent front suspension and an overhead-valve engine.
The first cars were sold in and were sold before production was wound up in Merc's plan with that car's replacement was to make the car more accessible by building in much greater numbers - although the 'Pagoda' was still pretty exclusive. The first cars got a 2. There were three generations of E-Type with the first cars featuring enclosed headlights like this one here. That marks it out as a Series 1 and in particular one of the later 4.
As a result this is one of the most sought after of the numerous E-Type models. The first ever European Car of the Year , the P6 was incredibly forward-thinking in its design, engineering and construction when it burst onto the scene in It was a complete departure for a British company that until now was seen as the epitome of conservatism - and things got even more exciting when the legendary 3.
Fewer than Countaches were built in a production run that stretched from right the way through to , when the Diablo took over. Values of these cars have gone wild in recent years, with early cars becoming especially collectible as they're so unusual. The later cars like this Anniversary are more numerous though.
Proving that Rodger is happy to add mainstream classics to his collection, among all of the exotica and rarities is perhaps the most accessible British sports car ever made - the MGB. It would be the final evolution of the XK breed before the E-Type took over in When it arrived in the Europa was supposed to replace the Seven, but that car soldiered on with Lotus until , when Caterham took over.
Meanwhile, the Europa was built until , initially with a mid-mounted Renault 16 engine and gearbox as seen here , then from Lotus fitted its own cc twin-cam four-pot. Rodger has a twin-cam Europa too of course. Even now the Citroen DS looks futuristic, but when it was first unveiled in it must have looked as though the Martians had landed.
The DS remained in production right the way up to , by which point it had received a new nose design with faired-in headlights. Rodger owns three of these later sedans - along with one of the very rare, desirable and valuable decapotable convertible models. Maserati launched the V8-powered Bora in ; a year later the V6-engined Merak went on sale using much the same bodyshell and structure.
Between and Maserati built Meraks; this is one of the last cars made and it's to SS spec which means it gets extra power bhp instead of bhp. The ultimate incarnation of the unloved Virage, the Vantage came with a hp supercharged V8 that also developed lb-ft of torque. Later there would be a V edition with a ludicrous hp but Rodger's isn't one of those - it's the hp model.
Aston Martin's association with Zagato had started in , but it would be another 25 years before there was an encore. The car pictured is one of the latter. One of the most recognisable bubble cars, the Messerschmitt KR offered seating for two, one in front of the other. The plastic canopy guaranteed an unbearably hot cabin when the sun came out, but to counter this a cabriolet version was offered - the KR If you can find a classic car that's more quintessentially British we'd love to see it. After World War Two, German warplane manufacturer Heinkel found itself at a loose end so it moved into making bikes and scooters before then switching to microcars in Its Kabine initially featured a cc single-cylinder engine but this was soon enlarged to cc.
From the Kabine was made under licence by British company Trojan , as seen here with this example. Lotus got as far as taking deposits but then returned them to its customers, having undertaken a feasibility study which showed that the project wasn't viable.
A shame, as we reckon it still looks good over 20 years on. Of all the cars in Rodger's collection, this is the one that he wouldn't ever part with.
