A customised 1996 Hummer H1 pickup owned by rap legend Tupac Shakur is to be auctioned by Bonhams in Scottsdale, US, on January 23.
A highly collectible piece of hip-hop history, the black four-door hardtop was the last car bought by the best-selling artist shortly before his death in September 1996.
It features modifications from 2Pac’s ownership including rugged off-road enhancements such as large tyres, a brush guard, winch and roof spotlight. Inside, the boxy SUV had luxury touches such as a Clarion audio system, burl wood trim and beige leather, plus unique items like an external PA system with sirens.
The vehicle, which was previously auctioned for $206,531 (R3.4m) in 2017, is powered by a 6.5l V8 diesel engine which lays down the power via a four-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
