I have had lots of cars with bonnet catches ranging from Spitfires, Heralds, Vitesse and a Gloria and none including the Morgan has ever had a bonnet fly up when I had inadvertently left the bonnet catches undone. Wobble yes but fly up no.
However, I have put a dust sheet on a black car and even when stationery that left scratches.
My dealer advice when I bought my Morgan.... you spare the strap and dont spoil the paintwork.
