The Minivan in the picture... has 9-hole 3.5" Cooper S wheels.
The offset is different from the one in the standard wheels. The only way to fit those narrow Coopers S wheels to a drum-braked car, such as the van, is to also install both Cooper S disc brakes
and
Coopers S rear drums, which have a built-in one-inch spacer (and appropriate longer studs, of course). Or Cooper S rear drums to the front and rear wheels, again with longer studs. I seem to recall the driveshafts are also different when using disc brakes.
Note that the supports for the wing seem to rest on the original upper hinges for the rear doors (and I doubt those were very strong). I suppose it could have been used for some kind of testing (?!), but the fumes from the exhaust would surely get sucked into the car. Not nice.
Maybe just a joke?
Fun fact: the Minivan is more aerodynamic and, thanks to its lower wheelbase, has better directional stability at high speed than the saloon.

I think you may be right. I have four of the little beasties.
My point was, however, that in those years a Minivan fitted with Cooper S brakes and wheels would be an extremely uncommon modification indeed. I wonder whether it also had a special engine that warranted that upgrade.
Hopefully you are being just a teeny tiny bit (not full-blast) sarcastic?
