Only one stab at this - a not unreasonable "70's?".

It was in 1928 on the M.G. Sports Six (later the '18/80 M.G. Six') and gave
a longer dwell period (as with the Mallory distributor).  This was the first
production car with an MG designed and built chassis, the first MG to have a
fly-off handbrake, centre-lock wheels, and a black-crackle dashboard with
Jaeger instruments.  All sounds very familiar.  1928 was also the year 'The
M.G. Car Company' was established.

Anyone care for a stab at when active ride control first appeared on an MG?
