TUPAC SHAKUR - SHAKUR'S HUMMER TO BE AUCTIONED OFF

The family of slain rapper TUPAC SHAKUR is selling off one of the late star's most treasured automobiles for $200,000 (GBP100,000). The Hummer H1 was originally donated to a raffle by American TV station B.E.T. in 2003, but the eventual winner later sold the vehicle back to the Shakur family. The car, which has clocked an extra 10,000 miles (16,094 kilometres) since its 2003 sale, and is in near-perfect condition, has now been valued at $200,000 in an effort by the star's estate to liquidate his assets. The Hummer will be auctioned online, and potential buyers have been asked to get in touch with Tupac's pal, rapper Candyman 187, via his MySpace webpage. The California hitmaker was gunned down in Las Vegas in September 1996, aged 25. His murder is currently unsolved.
