I think the cars get a shakedown test once they're built consisting of a road drive from Woking to Chertsey, a few laps around the test track at Longcross and then back to the factory.
Was on a driving course on the skidpan at Longcross a couple of years ago and all I could hear were these 2 SLRs going round....made it sound like stereo!

There were three of them cruising down the M25, they went off onto the A3, 2 silver coupes and the said orangey cab one; they were actually causing the traffic to slow down on the M25...

Kind of bizare to see three of them in one place, odd looking cars; not sure if I like them or not but they are certainly not stealth!!!

a mate of mine build them but he works down pompey way, so must be final testing up this way, they look kinda strange in the flesh!!!

They build the carbon monocoques in Portsmouth. The cars are assembled just outside Woking.
