[edit] Commonality with Mk II
The S type shared the entire centre monocoque unit with the Mk II, not just the bonnet. Doors, roof, and all glass were identical to the Mk II as was the interior apart from small cosmetic changes.
For its new rear suspension the S type needed an extended sub frame and this made it heavier and therefore slower than the Mk II, any improvement in handling was marginal although the ride was softer.
