Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer have applied their trademark face paint to the exterior of four examples of the 2011 Mini Countryman. Now the four vehicles each have their own dedicated eBay auction and the proceeds will be donated to UNICEF. The organization is working hard to raise money for children affected by the recent disasters in Japan.
The four vehicles have been named after the members of KISS they mimic - Starchild, The Demon, Spaceman and Catman. Auction participants can bid on any of the four MINI Countryman vehicles, each autographed by the entire band and custom-painted with the iconic makeup for each band member. All of the proceeds will benefit UNICEF to help children in Japan and other emergency relief efforts worldwide.
"Helping others is a gift we can give ourselves, but here's a four wheel bonus!" said KISS co-founder Paul Stanley. "The KISS MINI's are the ultimate way to show your KISS Army colors while helping our friends in Japan who have been devastated by the recent earthquake and floods. We're asking everyone to open their wallets to help UNICEF raise money for children who are still coping with the effects of these disasters."
"The KISS MINIs are the perfect Father's Day gift for the man who has everything," said KISS co-founder Gene Simmons, "But this ain't your father's car. It's bigger, better and the very best for the man who has the rest. It's KISS, baby. The custom-painted MINI Countryman would be the ultimate collector's item for a KISS fan or curator of rock band memorabilia, and would be the perfect addition to a car collector's garage; plus the new owner will have the satisfaction of knowing they've supported a great cause."
"MINI has a long history of philanthropic activities as part of our MINI Motoring Hearts program, which is all about giving back to the community," said Jim McDowell, Vice President - MINI USA. "These efforts support that and we are happy to help UNICEF make a difference in these kids' lives."
