TR bonnet release

Met a guy today at a party who arrived in a TR6PI. Seems before he left home
he wanted to do an engine oil level check but the bonnet release cable broke
without releasing the bonnet catch.
ISTR this issue has appeared previously on this list for 4's, 4A's and
5's/250's but I never kept the info.
Having looked at the car myself, the bonnet is still resolutely locked with
six miles of inner cable in the cockpit!
What was the technique for opening the bonnet without resorting to half a
kilo of semtex and a repaint? If anyone can help, the suggestions will be
relayed to the owner who does not populate the list.

Thanks, Jonmac
