Which small runabout with seven seats?

With three young grandchildren my beloved BMW 3-Series convertible is becoming less practical. I am reluctant to part with it and so I am considering a used inexpensive runabout with seven seats for when we need to transport the little members of the family. I read somewhere that both Citroen and Peugeot produce a van-type vehicle with windows and extra seats but I have been unable to find any details.

A cheap way out is an ex-Addison Lee Ford Galaxy diesel automatic, from around £6500 for a 110,000 miler. Addison Lee services them and changes the oil every 5000 miles: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/galaxy-2006/
