You can sometimes see proper Amazon Estate ones on www.blocket.se which is something like ebay in Sweden

Alternatively, I expect a VW bus one could be made to fit www.vwheritage.co.uk

I understand that a Volvo 140 rack can also be made to fit. From memory, it has to go on back to front and needs one section to be cut, shortened and welded. Then the brackets that fit onto the roof gutters need to be bent slightly. There was something on this forum about it some time ago, but I can't find it right now

There's a 140 rack for sale over on the 140 forum right now. The seller is extremely knowledgable about all things old Volvo, so he might be able to advise you on how to get it to fit

I have a 140 one which I'm going to modify to fit my Amazon estate. It looks very doable and I will have a look more closely this weekend and post some pics of what needs doing to get it to fit.
