Is the Lotus Exige a good investment?

The thesis

The Exige S2 with Toyota 2ZZ engine (190hp NA, 220hp+ supercharged S) is a track-focused, analogue lightweight. Median sale price £39,180; non-S models £18k–£25k, S variants £25k–£42k. The S2 is the last simple, repairable, and affordable Exige before V6 complexity. Limited production, hardcore appeal, and growing enthusiast recognition position it well for steady appreciation.
