it denotes the changes made to the car. The fiat spider went through several of these..

AS- Aug 1966 to July 1970
BS- Nov 1969 to July 1970
BS1- July 1970 to Sept 1972
CS- Sept 1972 to July 1973
CSA- Sept 1972 to Sept 1974 (the Abarth rally car)
CS1- Aug 1973 to July 1978
CS2- July 1978 to Oct 1979
CS0- May 1979 to Aug 1982
DS- Mar 1982 to Nov 1985

Hope that answers your questions. Each change in the Prefix did mean a change to the car itself. The AS had the 1400 and the Torque Tube rear suspension. The BS had the same engine, but the more familier four link and panhard rod rear.
