I'm thinking of connecting a 12V 10W solar panel permanently to my
vehicle battery as I am not using it very often.

The battery keeps going flat in the cold weather.

What I wanted to know is if others have done this and whether there is a
danger of damage leaving the panel connected when starting the car?

Absolutely no danger of damage because it doesn't produce enough output to
do so. Or charge the battery either. The quoted output only happens in the
Sahara at midday.
