There will be different types of center console (the arm rest/handbrake bit), one of them is bound to have a cup holder. Mine had 2 cup holders in it when it left plod and was changed for one with cubby holes in it :)

Any idea if this will fit a c70 (would have to get it dyed)

Some x70 series (phase 1) arm rests - did not come with the in built cup holders. You can get them cheaply from Volvo & they take but minutes to install.

The ebay one is that very same thing. You don't need to buy the arm rest actuallly - but in this case you may as well.

The cup holder can be transferred if the arm rest does not match.

My personal experience is Volvo OEM is not always that bad.

Mine has them in the console arm rest. Just make sure you don't lift the armrest with cups in it! I have learned that much already! :D
