Met Police Mercedes Carrier Pack of 10 greeting cards and envelopes. By Boris. For generations of Metropolitan Police officers, the sight of a Mercedes Carrier rumbling around the corner usually meant one thing… someone else’s day was about to get considerably worse. Digitally painted by retired New Scotland Yard Senior Police Artist Boris, this striking artwork captures one of the most recognisable public order vehicles ever to serve on London’s streets. Built to transport teams of riot trained officers into the heart of demonstrations, football disorder and public disturbances, the mighty Mercedes Carrier became a familiar sight across the capital during some of the Met’s busiest years. The imposing black windscreen shield, flashing blue lights and unmistakable police livery are faithfully reproduced in this detailed illustration. Behind the vehicle sit the historic Metropolitan Police crest and the Royal Cypher of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, providing a fitting backdrop that celebrates an era of British policing now consigned to history. Whether you once rode in one, watched them deploy from a distance, or simply appreciate iconic police vehicles, this card is a nostalgic tribute to the men, women and machines that stood on the front line when London became a little more lively than usual. Blank inside for your message. Artwork by Boris. Retired Metropolitan Police Officer and Senior Police Artist.
