The car Tupac Shakur was in when he was shot dead is being sold for $1.75 million.

The legendary musician was a passenger in a BMW 750Li when he was gunned down in Las Vegas in 1996.

It is now being auctioned off by a dealer in the same city having been painstakingly restored - with its original leaser in prison, according to the Daily Mail.

A small indentation where a bullet may have hit remains visible on one of the doors - serving as a reminder of the car's grisly history.

The shooting took place while Shakur was being driven by notorious record producer Suge Knight after watching a boxing match at a casino.

Witnesses described seeing a white Cadillac pull up alongside the pair's black BMW - from which the assailant then carried out the shooting in a matter of seconds.

Shakur, 25, was struck in the chest, arm and thigh by four .40 caliber rounds rounds fired from a pistol.
