well..  they are sold at auction for EXPORT only.  unless it has been RE VINNED.. then it is CRUSHED.. ( ouch)..  there used to be a dozen or so minis at the port of baltimore at the dock..  their were dozens and dozens of Land rover defenders at Turkys in charleston sc..   that had been SEIZED by CBP   few years ago...now  the 110s and 90s are stored in Savannah.. Ga..  until. Fines and Seizures at CBP ( US CUSTOMS) Insp Collette Landford.. takes the owners to Federal court... then they are FORFEITED and then CRUSHED...  later bc

$25 a day for storage. I'm sure at some point they take possession and auction it off to pay the fees.

A couple of other Minis at Galveston docks earlier this week. The green one has been there a long time they said. Didn't stop to look, I was in a hurry
