That would be correct Frank.I think early in production life the SE spec was probably quite expensive to add these options but by about 93/94 the SE spec was a very affordable option that came with
10 Spoke Speediness, Sports seats,sports clocks and the chunky very nice to hold S2 steering wheel aka 3 spoke sports wheel but without the S badge.
Just reread your post 24. The rust suggests to me Frank,perhaps a previous misdemeanour resulting in a visit to the body shop? Unlike the B3,these B4's are so well built and Galvanised that i have rarely seen rust on the front arches let alone the back unless through iffy repair,at least mine never displayed that,one had covered 149k when i sold it used in all weathers and my current one with 76k genuine miles.
Fingers crossed you don't need head gaskets, but should you have to......... the car really deserves to be repaired as you mentioned.
