Not that. I think it's not actually too obscure...

Seems pretty obscure to me. ;)

Was this between 1925-29?

Was the builder also a coachbuilder or dealer of other cars?

I don't think so. This is the only car I've seen mentioned in connection with him, although it's possible he was involved in others. Certainly it's not a 'famous' name from another area of motoring.

Is B the first letter of the founder/builder's last name?

sorry, I missed this.

Yes, the car is named for its builder (I believe), whose surname starts with 'B'

Just a clue (maybe). The proper name is also a verb in the English language...

This doesn't actually align with what's been written about this company, but I'll try it anyway: Batten?

That's the one!

There's still a bit of the original question left to answer - 'what made it unusual?' - so I'll lock this for you to try and fill in the gaps...
