I'm not sure about the roadster but we drove my friends Spitfire to the
paint shop with no hood latches. As you recall it hinges at the front. At
about 60 the hood raised up somewhat impeding visibility.

I always wondered if popping the hood on the roadster would allow air
from under the hood to escape, or was there a high pressure area at the
base
of the windshield that would force air back under the hood. Not sure what
would happen with a stock roadster, R16 or U20, but with a KA24E and 5
speed, the threads I taped to the back edge of the hood were sucked in
under
the hood at speeds over 35 mph. So much for helping to cool the KA.
But I did get a nice ride out of the experiment!
