There's a secret, invite only, insufferable group on Facebook called "Automotive Industry." Most auto journalists are members, and the discussions are usually trite, meaningless pablum like the food being bad at the Kia Sorrento event or self-serving announcements on how they're moving from The St. Louis Tribune to…
The situation may be a little more complex once you consider that Venezuelan officials have, themselves, been involved in the drug trade.
If any of you are actually willing to pay $10k for these in North America, then I'm going to pull a dozen unloved BX (and maybe CX) out of scrapyards on this side of the Atlantic, clean them up, fill in a few forms, and ship them over to North America for HUGE PROFIT. Especially the 4x4 version.

On a minor point of auction pedantry: Zero reserve can often lead to higher auction prices, not lower, because most people aren't rational bidders.
He made millions of lives happier.
Very few small-medium organisations perform a really thorough threat analysis that can find these control gaps in advance. I daresay McLaren have a hundred other controls - especially around intellectual property - but it was just assumed that having fences, walls, locked doors, and security guards would be…
No security is perfect, least of all human security - which tends to be the most expensive and the least reliable.
I have no idea, sorry. But if you find one and need help with a supplier in Europe who won't take payments from (or ship parts to) your part of the world, I'd happily help.
Here's a bit of both:
European-style bumpers are still available, although not always cheap.
Next, cram it in a Goggomobile.
