The thesis

The 987 Cayman R represents Porsche's last naturally aspirated flat-six mid-engine special edition before turbocharging arrived. With only 250 UK-market RHD cars built and a 325bhp 3.4L engine mated to six-speed manual gearbox, it's a purist's choice that ticks every box. Values have held remarkably well—£40k+ remains the floor for decent examples—and the limited production combined with track-ready suspension and weight-saving measures make it a genuine collector piece that hasn't peaked yet.
