Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?

The thesis

Ultra-rare lightweight Porsche with only 563 built globally. The 987.2 Cayman R strips 55 kg, adds 9 bhp (325 total), sits 20 mm lower, and features a mechanical LSD and stiffer suspension. It's the purest mid-engine Porsche of the modern era: hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six, six-speed manual. UK values are £40–60k, sitting below your budget floor. However, collector recognition is building fast. The 'R' badge controversy has faded; the driving experience is exceptional and the 987.2 eliminates IMS/bore-scoring issues.
