Just seen a McLaren MP4 12C on the M25 ...not sure about it

[Air Support]

Driving round the M25 near Heathrow today I saw an MP4etc. near the M4 junction.

Reckon the owner hadn't had it long as it was being cautiously driven in the inside lane at around 65mph.

Not sure I liked the look overall - a bit 458 Italia from the rear and Corvetteish from the side view.
Also had the MP4 12C marked on the sill below the drivers door - just like Tux's M460!

Anyone else here seen one on the road?

Several of us have seen them and posted pics in the supercars spotted thread

Here is my pic

Not sure the rear looks like a 458 though

it is indeed a McLaren MP4-12C ; seen one myself when I was in Calais heading UK to get my Noble

It said VP26 on the side, and thereunder in small letters "Prototype Vehicle"

See pics :
