KISS and MINI tie-up

Four KISS MINIs will be auctioned off for UNICEF.

MINI is sticking its tongue out and going glam rock-tastic with four one-off cars built to raise money for UNICEF.

The MINI Countrymans have all been custom painted to represent one of the band members of KISS, the rock band best known for their black and white outfits and make-up.

Each car is being auctioned off on eBay, with the proceeds going to UNICEF. The top price is expected for The Demon, which is based on KISS front man Gene Simmons.

The other three MINI Countrymans are The Catman, The Starchild and The Spaceman.

MINI in the USA is also set to offer KISS inspired vinyl wraps for its cars. At the launch of the four MINI Countrymans, MINI US boss Jim McDowell even put on the full KISS wig and make-up to introduce the band for the cars' unveiling.
