THE LEGENDARY car from the Ghostbusters movies was spotted being transported near Wrexham.
The Ecto-1 (also known as the Ectomobile) was the vehicle that the Ghostbusters used to travel throughout New York City busting ghosts and other entities.
The iconic vehicle was seen being carried on a wagon at the A483 Belgrave traffic lights on Tuesday.
In the original movie, character Ray Stantz pays $4,800 (equivalent to $14,077 in 2023) for it and claims it needs a plethora of repairs.

After the necessary reconstruction, it is used to carry the Ghostbusters and their ghost-capturing equipment through New York City.
Its features include a special pull-out rack utilizing the old ambulance's gurney in the rear containing the staff's proton packs.
There are also various gadgets mounted on the top, whose functions are never revealed in the movies.
