Erm, from memory...
Wingback seats, PAS, airbag, electric windows, tilt sunroof, pop out rear quarter windows (?), not sure about electric boot release, that might have been Si only (?)
I'm sure I'll get corrected if I'm wrong!
As for buying one...
1 - make sure it doesn't steer left/right under acceleration - this is often front wishbones. Common fault on the Fiesta and Escort but a cheap fix.
2 - make sure you try starting it from cold - hydraulic tappets are another common fault but not as easy to fix or as cheap!
3 - make sure you start it up a few times as they can have intermittant coil packs too.
4 - rear arches rot on them, so do the sunroofs, tailgates, scuttles, fuel cap areas, bonnets and valances - well what do you expect Ford made it!
Make sure you get the red Ford chip key with it as well!!
HTH.

Mines here: https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=153317
I've done a bit to mine since buying it as most of the componants are 13 years old now - so a little updating was in order.
As Lennie said, no popouts or airpag & PAS, but i did get the boot release button, E/W & C/L.
Love it too, going to be my winter runner and track car
