Is the Porsche Boxster a good investment?
987.2 Spyder Manual (2010–2012)
The thesis
The 987 Boxster Spyder is the last naturally aspirated roadster from Porsche's greatest era of mid-engined sports cars. With a minimalist manual roof, 320bhp 3.4L flat-six, lighter weight (1,275kg), and limited global production of 1,946 units, it offers open-air purity. UK RHD examples are rare (~150 cars). Values have appreciated consistently; Spyders now sit at the top of the 987 range and occupy a sweet spot before 981 Spyder prices (~£70k+). Strong collector demand for last-of-breed open-top Porsche manuals.
