Arrived today and will do the job for me. 
It's sold for dog owners and is made of "eco leather" (vinyl to you and me) with a simple foam backing.
It is about 40" wide (ideal for a D2) and 24" deep which is plenty.
Velcro strip along one edge that grips well to the boot carpet. I have a robust semi-rigid fitted boot liner as well that overlaps it so it's quite secure, just folds/roll easily into the boot over that whilst staying attached.
Oddly, called "Barry"! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BU8ZKUU
Note that there isn't a separate Velcro strip supplied to glue/fix to the car, just the Velcro on the mat itself, but that runs along the whole edge and stuck pretty firmly to the boot floor covering material.
