I do the bookkeeping for my Rotary Club, and have to keep track of individual
donations from members in order to claim Gift Aid on these donations.
I’m constrained in that I need to keep the donors’ names confidential in
reports to the club but need to identify the donors for the claim to HMRC.
Play with your tags and the Transaction Report, particularly the Regex

This won't get you a single report with all vehicles, but you can
isolate transactions by vehicle that way. (and maybe get something

In principle, GnuCash has the basic facility for setting this up in the form of
