On my TR6, while the bonnet didn't raise up like you describe, I have had
several experiences, including on my own car, where the pivots became so sloppy
that it lead to an almost constant high pitched squeaking coming from the
hinges. Only hinge replacement cured the squeak. I and others have experienced
the leading edge of the bonnet raising on vintage race TR4's, but you usually
had to be going over 100 mph for that to happen.
