Btw. My donor car is a 93 hatch which has electronic heating controls, one spoke steering wheel and an sed trim on the boot hatch?
Do you mean push button climate control?
There are three types of heating controls.
Basic version, rotary dials but manual selection.
Rotary dials, but automatic fan and temperature control.
Push button climate control.
In reality the push button controller does the same job as the electronic rotary controls, but the a/c button is integrated and the airflow direction is eletronic, not cable driven.
No S1 Xm should display the trim level on the boot. S2 cars do display the trim level there.

Well you ve confused me! I have a 93 hatch diesel which displays sed on the boot. As for the controls on my estate, they are rotary it is fitted with air con but that’s naffed up a long time ago. So there may be an auto on the dial, can’t remember, does that help?

Which makes it an Sd-turbo, not an Sed-turbo.
It's not me that's confused you, it's whoever was a bit trigger happy with the badges.

Indeed! I wonder why they did it? I suppose it’s quaint in its own right. So how many estates like mine are left, anyone have any idea whatsoever?

Not many S1 estates left, they weren't produced until 18 months after the saloon.
I would think ones actually on the road, number single figures.

According to how many left there are no sd on the road in late 2021 which is wrong, my estate was motd in April. Presumably there are no other sd estates apart from mine. I would like to know how many estates of any trim, ??!?

Quite possibly no other Sd manual estates on the road.
You are mistaken about recorded Sd-turbo manual being on the road. Q1 was 2, Q2 was 1.

Sd-turbo autos are a bit better populated.

No.
Q1, or Q2?
When did it come off the road, or is it taxed right now?
Maybe it is recorded with DVLA as an Sed.
