What about a Defender 110?
You have bench seats in the rear most part with proper seat belts, and still plenty of room for luggage etc.
It will be a slow old girl, and newer one's are expensive but if none of the MPV's are any good...I'd probably consider one of those.
Or, there's the Transit Tourneo? I think they're also particularly good. You can get an 8 seat version, Tourneo's come with air con, electric windows, elec mirrors, most with alloys. It depends on what age you go for whether that be the 1996 to 2000 model, or the next generation 2000 to 2006, but if the MPV's are just that bit too small, it seems the next step.

Citroen C4 Grande Picasso 1.6 hdi. 7 decent seats, quite nippy and easy 45+ in diesel. Typical of 7 seaters though, not much boot if all seats in use, actually 'not much' is an understatement.... :)
