IF there's something strange in your neighbourhood, Paul Harborne is the man you need to call.

He's the proud owner of a replica Ecto-1 from the eighties movie franchise Ghostbusters and his phone has been ringing off the hook thanks to the reboot hitting the big screen.

The classic car enthusiast from Sedgley will be travelling to Leeds, Chester and Sheffield this week to help launch the film, which stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.

The 54-year-old said: "This month has been completely crazy, we've only got a couple of days off. I won't get chance to see the film for a couple of weeks as we'll be stationed outside the cinema."

Although Paul, who worked alongside Kingswinford mechanic Tim Jordan to transform the battered Cadillac Miller-Meteor into the famous ghost-hunting wagon, is profiting from the hype surrounding the new film, he said business has been "non-stop" since 2012.

The father-of-five, who spent around £100,000 to get the vehicle in pristine condition, said: "We get calls everyday. We do proms, corporate events and have even done a couple of funerals. We've already got 15 weddings booked in for next year and one for 2018."

Being a 'Ghostbuster' might sound like fun and games but Paul said "it does have its challenges", adding: "The car requires regular maintenance and is hard to drive but I've got to say it's not the worst job I've had!"
