And the 1929/7 has me confused too!
One of our members took a look at this car recently, but passed on it because the 'fabric' covering in in fact some heavy leather-like material and really needs recovering, which makes the asking price quite unrealistic. A pity because it could be sorted into a really nice vintage Minor.
Ronald, this is the Bunn car that you first spotted in a garage local to you in Dorset a few years back.

From my chassis register notes:
"ex- Mr. & Mrs. Bunns, Dorset. Reported by Ronald Hogg (Feb 2002) : "I was talking to a chap that used to run a garage locally some years back, he rebuilt a Minor for a customer, it was a saloon, with a leather covered body! Reg. no. RX 4207."
