The traditional DIN E headunit is still around. There's several available from Halfords, for example:

I'd guess you'd need to ignore the double-DIN units. From a quick glance, it appears the CD mechanism is an endangered species, and not all have DAB. If both of those were needed, I'd probably pick the Sony unit:

Seems OK for the money. I've had several Sony units in the past, and was happy with all of them. I don't have experience of their more recent offerings though. They OEM for some car manufacturers.
Of course, there's always second-hand. Looking at sold auctions for Sony head units, there's loads that went for just a few 10s of pounds.
