access to a rear row of seats...... like a galaxy, 806(?), etc, etc

we have only E7's and Vito's, even the big tourneo (9 seaters) have all gone now

a guy with a Nissan bus had to weld a seat up to comply

My Fiat Ducato has 8 passenger seats and you don't have to move any of them for access.

No it is a lwb, 8 passenger vehicle. The side door is long enough to allow access to the very back seats without having to more any seat in the centre row.
