Why?

just the dealer creating a "Greenwich" special edition of their own to try and get their name out there and sell a wrapped car at a premium

Firstly, it is a used car with 4000 miles. So, it isn't something the dealer created, it was some person's 'cool' idea.
And you know it isn't going to be sold for any kind of premium, that's why the price isn't being advertised. It is a car no one will want without a seriously deep discount to either remove the wrap or re-paint, whichever is the case.
Or just maybe it really is a McClaren test mule, as sorta' alluded to. In which case, it will still be at a deep discount.
Miller Motorcars is one of the premier AM dealers in the country. They had the ability to order a 1-77 new from the factory when no one else could.

Don't go slagging off on the dealer for this one.

No, this is not a camouflaged prototype of the McLaren MP4-12C. This is an actual MP4-12C that’s been dressed by McLaren dealer Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, Connecticut.
So what did they use to dress this up?
Apparently, the vinyl wrap used to decorate this MP4-12C is the same camouflage patterns McLaren uses for its own prototypes. Since Miller Motorcars is a certified McLaren dealer, we’re guessing that they got some sort of blessing from Woking, England to cover this MP4-12C with this camouflaged pattern. The dealer even has a name for it: the Greenwich Special Edition.
It’s also a pre-owned vehicle with some mileage on it, but for the sheer uniqueness of it all, its $259,035 price tag might be a little justified. And if for nothing else, the prospective buyer can take comfort knowing that he’s buying a supercar that’s unique to its own.
