The experimental Cortina Twin Cam hover car.

 

 

That's probably Lydden Hill, 1970 with Roger Clark or Graham Hill driving. In the same event two or three retired works Cooper S Minis were pretty badly damaged before being scrapped.  :-(

Is that a Gilbern on the right?

I think it's a Spridget with an aftermarket hardtop, possibly an Asley.

This type of thing

Kennedy's motorcade in Berlin:

Note how well protected he is, with a security car leading, being flanked by motorcycle coppers, and followed by a secret service gunship, which in turn is followed by a press bus.
A similar amount of security was provided when he visited Dublin:

The day before his assassination, in San Antonio, security was still business as usual:
