They sure do have this option. Manufactured by Boge for MG Rover for Tourers, rear springs were different too with lighter rate.

I believe I saw some pictures of an early prototype tourer with an electronic controlled version of self levelling with compressor etc. If you look in the fusebox there is an icon indicating a fuseable link which may have been for self levelling.

However the final production model Boge set up is all mechanical.

I never trust the label under the rear seat. Physically if you measure the OD of the shock absorber you will see that the Boge units measure 48mm OD against 42mm OD for std shockers.
