Found this whilst looking through some old cycle memorabilia. Not sure when this Mini was in use or event. Looks like it’s had some modifications arches and stuff in the back?
Somewhere mentioned it was also coloured red/ white.

Harry, and the shop, became famous for providing probably the UK's first neutral service vehicle. Between 62 - 76 Harry provided a free race service to most top UK and local events. 

A friend and rider of the era said 'it was a great feeling, if you looked behind you and saw Harry & the van, you knew you'd made it!' 

The little minis proved to be a reliable vehicle for the task. We ran 3 Mini's over this period, the latter two being performance modified to keep up with the pace the riders were now setting.
