I own a one-of-kind that Christopher made for me. The result of a sales desk slip up, the piece did not exist when I placed the order. Martin could have easily declined and refunded the money.

A beautiful, unique photo of my 1962 Porsche 356 Roadster in front of my favorite burger joint, all on a 993 hood. This exceeded my...
