If you are unable to source one, you could easily make one if you have any woodworking skill. The main structure is plywood and it's fairly simple. I refurbished mine and in the process took it apart so I can give you some guidance if you get to the point.

The part number for the cubby box is JLM1555XA and here is an illustration to see what goes into it.

It's big and heavy. Shipping would be a lot. It's just plywood and carpet with a door. Easily made. My plan was to modify it to replace my back seat. I might be able to trace it out and send to you for template with pictures to help guide you

I would call around to UK based breakers for a used one. You can get one that is tatty looking or wrong colors and just re-carpet it.

I know its your car....BUT. the rear seat looks way better than the box. I had seats fitted to my car in '93 and would never go back to the box. Maybe try asking if anyone would swop seats for a box.....do you know the seat colour ??

I kept my cuddy box to install in place of my rear seats. The seats are useless. When I get home tomorrow I'll take pictures and send to you. I'll give you dimensions as well. I don't think it's a straight swap. Modifications will be needed
