Is there any actual benefit to have a bonnet open backwards like that? I imagine it makes it far more awkward to work on.

Easier to ensure it can open. Some car designs would have to be compromised otherwise to let the bonnet open against the windscreen / a pillar.

Are you talking about the gt40? If so then I can’t see how else the rear would open up?

Indeed, doesn't seem to be any other way. Also remember these are race cars by design so most likely the whole rear clamshell would be taken off in the garage when being worked on.

Saying that, I'm sure a big chunk of mid engine cars have a bonnet hinged at the rear, I can't imagine hanging it off the roof helps with stability etc
 
I've been in this office for about 6 weeks now, and I was hoping that working right in the City of London would yield some nice spots, but this is the first exotic car I've seen. Lots of S-Classes and a Bentley or two, but nothing really special otherwise. I guess I need to go Knightsbridge for that.

I've seen TONS of seriously exotic metal, where are you? Fridays usually yield better results as people bring their toys in to go away for the weekend after work.

King Street. However, a few hours after posting this, walking back to the station, a beautiful deep blue coloured 458 Spyder pulled up alongside me as he stopped at the lights, so perhaps I spoke too soon. Would have snapped a pic but he was literally feet away sowould have felt a bit of a prat sticking a camera phone in his face.

King Street Chelsea? If so you're only a stone's throw away from me. I have no such reservations however, saw this today:

Nah, I literally meant, City of London, I'm just up from the Guildhall :)

To be fair, I occasionally hear something fruity go past the office but I'm on the first floor and too far back from the window to see the road.

Ah right fair enough, I spent three years on Basinghall Street, last day was Friday just gone. Saw some ridiculous cars there during my time.
