< the scoop and the louvers
will tend to fight each other and air that stagnates against the windscreen
will counterflow into the bonnet louvers >
The MGA's body designers put oval air vents into the hood just forward of the
windshield to -logically- let out hot engine compartment air, but aerodynamic
testing showed later that the vents actually pulled air IN, because of an
unexpected air flow over the top of the hood, and curling against the base of
the windshield.
Best,
Peter
