About the Land Rover Series 3
The Land Rover Series 3 Coast Guard Edition is a true British icon – rugged, charming, and rich in history. Originally built in the 1970s and specially adapted for use by HM Coastguard, this distinctive 4x4 was designed to tackle the toughest coastal terrain in all conditions. With its striking blue and white livery, classic boxy design, and no-nonsense attitude, it’s a vehicle that tells a story the moment it rolls into view. From its heritage roots to its capable off-road presence, it brings a sense of nostalgia, adventure, and authenticity that’s hard to find in modern vehicles.
Now available for hire exclusively through Paddock Prestige , this beautifully preserved Land Rover makes a bold and unforgettable statement at any event. Whether you’re looking to add some vintage flair to your wedding, make a dramatic arrival at prom, or create a talking point at a PR launch or photoshoot, the Coast Guard Landy delivers character in spades. It’s not just transport – it’s a head-turning piece of history that brings smiles, sparks conversation, and looks incredible in photos. If you want something unique, full of personality, and effortlessly cool, this is the perfect choice.
