If you spot a huge version of The Stig travelling across Britain on the back of a flatbed truck over the next few days, your eyes are not deceiving you.
Giant Stig is due to depart from Top Gear HQ at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey and embark on a European tour in order to mark the launch of new global TV channel BBC Brit.
He will travel to Amsterdam, Holland and Berlin, Germany before arriving at his final destination in Warsaw, Poland. There, he will be erected beside the city's most famous landmark, the Palace of Science and Culture.
The 9-metre model is made from fibre-glass and took a team of three sculptors over two months to design, construct and paint. The Stig's head and torso alone are the equivalent height of a double-decker bus.
