Does anyone know how I can find out the make of a car from its number plate? Online preferably.

www.rac.co.uk and click on vehicle check.

It looks like it's going to charge you £5 but you put in the reg and get the make before it charges you.

It's not phishing or spamming I'm on about

The site says...

"I confirm that the vehicle detailed above is registered, owned or insured by either my employer or myself and is regularly driven by me. I understand it is an offence to wrongfully obtain information of this nature without reasonable cause and if I fail to provide true reasons for acquiring information I may be committing an offence of unlawfully obtaining data contrary to section 55 of the Data Protection Act 1988. I declare that the information provided will not be used for any purposes unrelated to this enquiry. I agree to the terms of use as stated on this web site. "

It says you can only use it for checking your own car....just pointing this out that's all...
