 S for "special" (or CS : same engine but shorter wheelbase and light chassis from 1936)

Whisky heir Rob Walker’s wealth allowed him to indulge his passion for cars: Gullwings, Dinos, Facel Vegas… you get the drift. They came and went, the sale of one helping with the purchase of another. But one so gripped him that he bought it three times: once as a Cambridge undergraduate, once from Customs & Excise and once sight unseen. ...... " from here.

And please can people start spelling "whisky" properly!!! Whiskey is the substitute stuff made in Ireland or US.
