Summary
After two years of courtroom drama, Mayor Ken Hopkins’ legal battle over a rare 1975 Morris Garage MGB Anniversary Edition coupe has officially ended—with the car returning to its owner and all personal claims dismissed. Hopkins insists he never stole the car, calling the case a politically motivated smear during his re-election campaign. He paid for his own defense and emphasized the car was never driven with city plates. The case, which spiraled from state to federal court, is now closed, leaving behind a tale that reads like a movie script.
