No, nothing like.

Jusr remember that Fuel injection has been the corner stone of diesel engines since the 20's!

I seem to recall the first production car with petrol fuel injection fitted was on a Merc.

The yanks had a VERY crude electronic job in the 50's

I was just about to add........that Triumph had another first......I think that the Dolly Sprint was the first mass produced British car with 4 valves per cylinder ............in 1973.........I could be wrong though. :y :y

Think you could be right about Dolly Sprint :-/

The (only) special or unique thing about the Dolly sprint was the fact that it had 16 valves operated by a single camshaft,no-one had done it before and afaik no-one has done it since.

I remember we had an 1850 not sure if they were the dolly sprint though, have a feeling they were 2 litre's.

Respectable.

We originally had a Triuph 2000, lovely car, then I reckon it was the 1850 Dolomite we must have had then.  Seem to remember a D Badge on the rear roof piller bit.  Cracking little car.
