I do remember the 6 wheel "Sonic", a promotion vehicle by Wolrace. Not a clue what this might be, Noble??

No idea. Cannot zoom in on bonnet badge sufficiently.
However, power lines and house roof slope suggest to me somewhere sur Le Continent.
Could it be a Spyder?

Re Ian's last central headlight car - Tatra T77, mid 1930s.

Here is an interesting Youtube clip accompanied by some stirring music - Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

FAB 1 is the only 6-wheel car I've seen in the metal.
It was for sale for £8,000 in Exchange and Mart, in about 1969.
Based on a Bedford bus chassis.
At one time, it was reported that Rolls-Royce tried to buy it in order to scrap it.
The tax disc read, "Imitation Rolls-Royce."

Strange to see a 6-wheeler look normal compared to the car parked behind it!

I loved the Loadrunner CX, which was designed to speed a ton of newspapers from one European capital to another, at very high speed, through the night. Can you imagine one of these passing you at 100mph in the early hours - the News must get through!

Re the gorgeous blue coupé - the symbol on the grille means that, unlikely as it may seem, it must be based on a DKW. (DKW used the same symbol as Audi (interlinked rings) as it symbolised 4 companies that had merged). As I have never seen it before I'm guessing it's one of those odd models that originated in a special market like South America.
