TOP Gear's most mysterious character The Stig appears to have been caught on camera by Google Street View in London.

The Sun reported a figure looking like the professional driver from the cult British television motoring show, which is estimated to have 350 million viewers around the world, can be seen through a window of the BBC buildings in the English capital.

The mysterious figure is clad in Stig's trademark white overalls and racing helmet.

The picture shows the anonymous character standing with arms folded across a desk from what looks like a female BBC colleague.

The Stig's true identity has never been revealed on the long-running BBC show in which he features mainly as a test driver of various cars.

Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has been rumoured to be the face behind the mask, as has another former champion Damon Hill.

Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps and provides a street-level 360-degree view of a number of cities around the UK and the world.

The images are captured by a fleet of Street View cars and tricycles equipped with cameras.
