>At least three other firsts spring to mind - by dredging the
memory banks I might come up with more.
First British manufacturer to standardise fuel injection on
two individual models - 2.5PI saloon and TR5 in 1967
First British manufacturer to offer independent suspension
on all four wheels across the whole product range by the
mid-1960's
First British manufacturer (possibly first in the world?) to
mass produce a 16 valve engine - Dolomite Sprint

Don't forget:
The first company to give John MacCartney a sales job in downtown London,
no less!
(I'll bet there are a few pubs that would have shuttered otherwise ;-D )
