Under Bonnet Sound Reduction Felt

Just a general question, did Z's ever have under bonnet sound proofing material fitted?

Before I started restoring my 280ZX, the bonnet had felt stuck to the underside. Should it have, are there benefit for doing this?

Anyone know for sure?

Cheers

I would be slightly worried if it wasn't a material designed to be in an engine bay..... FIRE! On modern cars, I think the main reason for all that insulation is heat. Also to protect the paint on the bonnet.

Ah that's what I thought. Thank Derrick. The felt that was on mine must have been one of the many 'improvement' made by a previous owner.
