Story from Jam Press (One Direction Van) Pictured: The Scooby Doo inspired van, formerly owned by One Direction stars Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. One Direction tour van for sale for £40,000 A tour van that was personalised for ex-One Direction members, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik has gone back on sale for £39,990. The groovy Volkswagen has been transformed into a replica of ‘the mystery machine’ from the Scooby Doo series and was customised for the band members before the Where We Are Tour in 2014. It was previously listed on eBay for the same price in 2020. Wrapped in a blue vinyl cover, the vehicle features the iconic orange mystery machine logo and has an orange flower pattern – which bears an uncanny resemblance to the one from the hit late 60s cartoon. On the inside, two black leather seats have been inscribed with the singers' initials – LT and ZJM. There is a large gaming system with an Xbox, TV screen and Nintendo Wii, presumably to keep the What Makes You Beautiful singers entertained while they were on the road. Although the vehicle is not the most spacious, it has a mini fridge, microwave and small countertop crammed inside. There is also a Sony amplifier as well as a camera system with an intercom. Water jets were also installed as part of the eccentric transformation, alongside a wacky collection of comic book pages stuck to the roof. The previous seller claimed that the bus was never used because it didn't receive the correct documentation and was not allowed to drive on US soil. The Mystery Machine runs on diesel and only has 2,610 miles on the clock. It is being sold by Stratton Cars, in Solihull, West Midlands. The transformation was originally designed by Yiannimize, who specialises in customising cars using Vinyl wrapping. Louis' reaction to the transformation was filmed and uploaded online. When he first saw the results, the artist said: “Absolutely not letting any of the boys in here.” ENDS
