Definitely had to Google this one. Apparently that L on the back means light weight, which also  means it has more power.

And an “automatic” badge of course, because there’s no point in being posh if you can’t show it off:

L means long wheelbase

Oops.

Models were given names denoting their engine sizes, and suffixes to indicate the long-wheelbase ( L ) and fuel injection ( i ) available on later cars. The coupés were all named CS, followed by i (for fuel injection models) or L (for light-weight models, which also had fuel injection and higher power). 

So L meant long on the sedan, but light on the coupe. What’s confusing about that?

Love those badges. Such a weird reversal.
