Look up a real vehicle by registration number

Turn a registration number into vehicle data and studio images of that exact car — including its real paint colour where we carry a match.

Add-on — must be enabled for your key. Check features.plate in /api/me; without it the endpoint returns 403.

What you get back

1. The vehicle behind the plate — make, model, year, body, colour, engine, transmission, and its VIN.
2. A vehicle block with the matched catalogue car and one signed image URL per view your plan allows.

Colour is applied automatically. If the car is registered as white, the images come back in white. Colours we do not carry (e.g. silver, beige) fall back to the standard finish — vehicle.color always states what was actually used.

Coverage varies by country. The UK, most of Europe, the USA and a number of other markets are supported; some countries restrict registration lookups by law. Spaces and hyphens in the plate are ignored.
