HARRISON NY — A $5,000 reward is being offered after a one-of-a-kind KISS car was stolen from a driveway in Harrison.

The Mini-Cooper hatchback, autographed by the 1970s shock rockers and designed with the band's logo and other blue/teal Kiss artwork, was originally purchased at an auction benefiting the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (or Unicef) . It was stolen Friday between midnight and 6 a.m.

The reward is for information leading to an arrest and conviction and/or recovery of the vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to call Harrison police at 914-967-5110 . All calls will remain confidential.

if you race in the 24 hours of LeMons... and want the judges attention, make your car stand out





the San Diego British Car Club Council show at Liberty Station







 Deloreans were built in Ireland



 Barnfind from So Cal, just pulled out 2 weeks ago

 Above, best sign board

 Best custom interior/dash/steering wheel

The above is a Berkley
great company truck!






What the new Mini coupe looks like





Quite a variety of Rolls Royce
And Lotus changed a lot too
Best display









 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show
 Quite a variety of Bentleys too


British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
