With Acts Of 'Road Rage',

apparently becoming more common,

plus the ownership of guns also apparently on the rise, is this the way to go? a bullet proof car, once owned by Al Capone, this 1928 Cadillac V-8 Town Sedan is coming up for sale, for the technical, it is a series 341-A. 90 bhp, 341 cu. in. L-head V-8 engine, three-speed manual transmission, with beam front axle and full-floating rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs with four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, it was fitted with 3,000lb of steel armour and painted green with black fenders to mimic a police car, with flashing lights, a siren and police-band radio receiver, the bulletproof windows could be raised to reveal holes through which machine guns could be fired, while the rear window could be dropped to let his henchman fire on those chasing them, for the non technical the 84 year old car is expected to go for around £325,000,
