To be honest mate, if you look around every trad Morgan ever made you'll find the bonnet gap is about half an inch or so. This is actually a Very Good Thing.
An old vintage car producing a few tens of HP isn't going to produce much heat, but modern Mogs have engines producing a few hundred horsepower, and the shape of the engine bay can cause issues with underbonnet temperature buildup, Having wide bonnet gaps does go some way to mitigate this problem.
If you're the type to let that kind of thing bother you, then you might find there are other cars out there that suit your temperament better.
It seems to me, however, to be an awfully trivial reason to forgo all that fun - after all, you can't see the bonnet gap when you're driving, can you?
