My Daytona has a very heavy bonnet with a metal frame as well, normal stays would not hold it up. It has gas struts with locks, open the bonnet and it will "click" when fully open, to close lift it a little higher and it will "click" again allowing it to close. I have been told that these locking gas struts were fitted to early Range Rovers (P38?).
May well work for the heavier 275 bonnet.
