Could I remove a cubby box and fit the third seat without any dramas??

Yes.
Remove cubby box & make sure the rivnuts are still in place to take the seat.
It’s a tight squeeze 3 in the front

Td5 or before as above but on later models the driver and passenger seats were moved in some to make a tad more elbow space. Dog likes middle seat.

I thought it would be, middle seat for the Mrs and bug seat for my 9 year olds on a booster. I would look at fitting bench seats too, thanks for your advice

I have three seats in my 90, works ok for short journeys, handy for me if we are out on late night vermin patrol round the farm.

Be careful re bench seat as believe that the MOT regs state that drivers seat should be adjustable, Not certain on that but worth investigating before you commit to ripping iotr all out and then finding it all has to go back..

bench in the back makes sense,

Careful using a booster seat on the middle seat. I remember having this issue. It might be perfectly okay these days. Worth double checking though.

I have the same issue with my work van, booster is too big for a small centre seat. The Mrs can squeeze in the middle with the gear stick between her legs!!

As the middle seat only has a lap belt best put the Mrs in the middle
