Yep, got mine from a local stockist in feb for £75. Check protectakotes website for stockists.
Easy to put on and so far havent had any problems. Let me know if you want any advise on applying it.

Any special requirements needed? such as rubbing down or treating rust spots, can you spread it nice and thick with one coat or several?  oh and how much would I need for a swb Transit sized van?

Yes, just did mine.  Very easy. Scratch the painted floor up, power putty in any odd holes, masking tape all round.  Pair of gloves, old clothes, brush, roller.  Two coats in two days.

Got my protectakote from Stu at Skypole Systems, Southampton.

I did mine last year, you will need to drive around with your window open for a few days after doing it . It really stinks.
Easy to do, I used 2 coats, it comes with full instructions. I got mine from Andwat in Southport

I just got the 4ltr size tin £45  ( that did my Expert van ) and  I bought my own brushes
