Strange because the inspection hatch method usually works, there’s a Youtube guide … other ides then.
Saw through the latch pin(s), use rags & wooden wedges to increase the bonnet open gap as much as possible.
One owner managed to fashion a special spanner and remove the two on each side retaining bolts holding the latch pins. I’ve generally found them not to be that easily moved.
Another I heard of got a couple of friends to bounce the front of the car while he pulled the inside release, on an upwards bounce they heaved on the bonnet gap and it opened.
Or try the hatch method with a bit more effort.
Good luck
