From 'About us' - 'History' tab in link below:-
1962-1976
"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."

If you look at the Dave Clark Five Mini Moke, you will see one of the then-new Cibie Oscar spotlights mounted centrally.

They had a metal black lamp cover with a small translucent circular piece and the cover was held on with a rubber elasticated strap. I had one on my then-new 1964 Cooper 998 with two Lucas 7" spots. I was asked what the thing in the centre was and I said it was a 'radar meter detector'. Some people actually believed it was!
