Al Capone's bulletproof car fetched $215,000 at auction – eight times the price of a regular one of its kind.

The green 1928 Cadillac V-8 Town Sedan, made to look like a Chicago police car of the time, sparked fierce bidding at RM Auctions, California.

The mobster's ownership of the armour-plated car saw offers dwarf the $25,000 value of a typical V-8.
