Default Best cabriolet for max £500

Now i got an empty garage again, looking at maybe getting a Cab for the summer months. Dont want to really spend more then £500 on one, and will put the work into it to make it nice.

Only problem is, got 3 young kids, so need one with 3 seatbelts in the back.

Been looking at mk5/mk6 escorts, and Audi 80`s. but not sure if they have enough seatbelts in the back?

Any ideas on any others for the same sort of price?

mk6 escorts have 3 seatbelts but only 2 are diagonals, and for £500 your wont have much choice as better models fetch more

I'd have said a 306, not a bad looking car IMO and you can pick one up needing a small amount of work for your budget, but they only have 2 rear seats, I've just got an escort SE cab, for that money as a little winter project ( thats turning into a major project!)
