As I understand, the "L" was a Luxury as opposed to the Sport "S" model. You could dress up either car, but the cams on the "L" were designed to give less ultimate torque, but a flatter curve over a broad RPM range, making the car easier to live with on a daily basis. The following year, with the wheelbase stretch, the both up-scale models got fuel injection, (the T got Zenith carbs) and the luxury car was re-designated the "E" for einspritzung. As mentioned above, the Hydrolactic suspension was an option, intended to maintain ride height with additional luggage aboard.
Does that help?
