What do Shaquille O’Neal and Scooby Doo have in common? Both have been the beloved owners of conversion vans. The only difference is Scooby Doo’s didn’t come with Louis Vuitton leather interior seating.
In 2001, Shaquille O’Neal purchased a Chevrolet G1500. Some of the features the ‘Shaq Daddy’ customized his ride with are 20-inch superman wheels, man of steel emblems throughout the vehicle, an incredible custom audio system with a built in HD movie projector (it projects a 100 to 1000” video screen), a DVD and an X-Box system.
The athlete, musician, actor, professional wrestler and law enforcement agent isn’t the only uber famous talent rolling around in a luxury conversion van. Legendary British filmmaker Guy Ritchie loves his Mercedes Sprinter custom van. A Welsh based firm, Touch of Class transformed a Mercedes Sprinter into the ultimate British gent’s luxury vehicle. The ceiling is upholstered in English country tweed. There are two brown leather full reclining massage chairs and the walls are finished with some of the finest brass fittings. The sprinters floor is made of polished walnut.
The film producer has outfitted the vehicle with the finest entertainment systems available. There is a 19-inch plasma TV and multimedia system with surround sound built into the vans interior.
The Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels creator values his privacy. The van has blacked out windows. Touch of Class has also installed a polished walnut partition that divides the driver from the passengers.
