You are a p2 or p3 V70? But, looks like a late p2 or early p3. P2 ran from 2000 to 2008, the p3 2008 onwards roughly.
Look on eBay or Facebook market place one there for £50 for a p2 I noticed. Thing is, renowned for the retaining gas struts to fail frequently sadly. The old 245 and 745 era, they had a fixing in the roof then you pulled it down, new versions rely on a gas strut!
I personally would go for a Travall one. Very, very well made, never rattles either.
Sort your model type V70, then look around.
Good luck with the car.
