I think both photos have the handlebar over-riders, though difficult to be sure about main. As both photos look as if they're following the R8 in a continuous sequence, is it possible for the same Mini to appear twice or were there 2 cars? 2nd thumb looks ordinary 1963+ Austin/Morris Mini super deluxe.
