Its a Merc/Mclaren SLR isnt it?
Autoexpress/autotrader would probably have paid good money for them pics.....until you put them on public internet forum

Look at the door pillar and the lines of the door.
I don't think that's a Merc.

Look at the rear fogs at the bottom.
in addition to the door pillar, on the Merc it slopes down towards the back of the car, but in the pics at the top, it slopes towards the front.

I was openly sceptical on the last thread "spotted near woking" These look pretty interesting mind
However, why not hide it better than that. Its a pretty busy day by the look of it. If you live near Milton Keynes (Blakelands area) you may have been passed by an LHD Dark Green Audi A8. Underneath, the entire running gear was VWs £60K+ Phaeton Limo. Means they can do loads of development work, without getting photos in the mags and forums.

It was on the M1 & was definately the New Merc & they werent pleased I was taking pics !
They had the black 4x4 in front of them & a transit behind & made it very difficult to take pics !
We had 5 mins of cat & mouse

Well they shouldn't be on the M1 if they didn't want pics taken! After all every chance of getting stuck in traffic on there.
Isn't that car going to be part built in the McClaren facility in Portsmouth then finished at The Paragon?
