I saw two of these this morning in funny looking almost "BMW Art Car" type livery (black and white almost like a Paisley type patter all over them) in convey with each other early this morning on the A5 in Shropshire!!!

Anyone have any info on these cars and where they were heading? Photoshoot on Welsh roads perhaps?

BTW They look even more hideous in the fleash than even the photos suggested!!!

They won't be going to a photshoot, they are covered in camoflage so you can't see the lines properly, it will be to stop the mags getting pics of them.

They will be doing UK testing.

That is interesting. On the A5 in Hinckley, Leicestershire is of course MIRA and I wonder if it was heading over that way? I work a few miles down the road so often see cars in camoflauge (sp?) and will certainly be keeping an eye out for this and be ready with a camera too!

I saw one in Cheltenham yesterday without any camouflage?

Ah interesting. Yes, I can see how the pattern would break up the lines. Looked really weird.
They were heading northwards on the A5 in Shropshire at the time.
