Actually, way back in the late 50's to early 70's the S meant super. SE meant Super Einspritz (sp?). Cars like the 220S had carbs and the 220SE fuel injection. Then came the 230S, 250S, 280S, all with carbs. There were also 220SE, 250SE and 280SE as well as 300SEL, 280SEL which were the long chassis versions of the regular cars.

The designations change with body style too, such as the 50's 300S and 300SC for example, and the 220b which has dual single downdraft carbs.

Kinda confusing.

Then there were the V-8's, with 3.5, 4.5, 6.3 and 6.9 tacked on the end.
