The Story of Louise Piëch's Last Porsche 911
from Road & Track:The Story of Louise Piëch's Last Porsche 911
...
Louise Piëch got a fleet of personalized Porsches throughout the years as birthday presents, and her final one happened to be a 1989 Carrera 4, in silver, with a unique interior and the familiar plates featuring "S 200."Perhaps the most interesting detail is the mottled mother-of-pearl fabric replacing the factory leather. It was reminiscent of the curtain employed in Porsche offices in the 1970s. The rest of the trim is wrapped in white-leather, with fluffy white edges. "Who the hell did that?"is a question often asked by dentist and current owner Clemens Frigge.
...Yet the origins of this silver 964 Carrera 4 remain a secret to whoever makes an enquiry.
Today, it shares a hangar formerly used by the Canadian Army's tank fleet. With 64,000 miles on the clock, its original paint and all matching numbers, it's parked next to a Mercedes-Benz of a famous German private banker from the 1950s, a rare VW Beetle, and one of the Messerschmitt cabin scooters that are still roadworthy. Louise Piëch died in 1999, at the age of 94.

This may sound funny, but the 964 was new and the 928 was old.
At least some 80% of the 964 was new, the rest dated back to 63... but the 928 dated 80% back to the 70s.
Maybe she already had 3 928s from the past 3 birthdays
