Your first car. Your father's car. The one you restored and sold twenty years ago. Or simply a car whose story you would love to rediscover. RetroCars.ai can make discreet enquiries through the classic-car community and see where the trail leads.
We're not private investigators and this isn't about knocking on doors. Our approach is softer: classic-car clubs, owners' groups, shows and meets, enthusiast networks, people we've met through filming and social media, and our own contacts within the classic-car community.
Explore whether a car from your past may still survive and what may have happened to it.
Sometimes the aim is simply to understand more of a car's history, rather than to buy it.
If an owner can appropriately be approached, we can ask whether they would be open to contact. The decision remains entirely theirs.
We will endeavour to help locate cars and uncover their history through our contacts, owners' clubs, events and the wider classic-car community.
We will never disclose the location of a car, or any details relating to its owner, to anyone without the owner's prior consent.
Any introduction or exchange of information will only take place with the agreement of the people involved.
If you have the registration number, the official GOV.UK vehicle-information service is a sensible first step. It can provide basic vehicle information without revealing private keeper details.
We're interested in talking to established vehicle-history and automotive-data providers, classic-car parts businesses and specialist organisations whose services could genuinely help our visitors understand, maintain or reconnect with interesting cars.
Vehicle history, provenance, specifications, condition information, parts availability and specialist knowledge are all areas we'd like to develop with credible organisations.
