First advice - get it on a hoist, get it in some good light, climb all over it and find the VIN. It is supposed to be stamped in letters larger than 7mm (no 1/4"), and 17 digits, so it should be pretty obvious. It's also supposed to be in an easily visible location so that it can be found for precisely this reason. Without papers, although you own a car, you have no proof that this car has a right to the VIN associated with those number plates. It sounds like it'll be an issue for the Vehicle Identification and Inspection Unit, who should be able to confirm the ins and outs of it. I've had dealing with them in the past and found them to be very good at what they do. And yes, they work for the RMS.
