Porsche 718 v 981 Cayman S: which is best for your £40k?

Search the full range of Porsche for sale in the 9WERKS Marketplace: https://9werks.co.uk/porschemarketplace/ It's the most commonly asked question put to the team here at Harbour Cars: which Porsche should I buy, a 718 or 981 Cayman/Boxster? With that in mind, the Harbour Cars team let me borrow an example of each generation to attempt to answer the question – particularly as there's a big overlap in prices of these cars, with both examples currently on the 9WERKS Marketplace for £40k. Thanks to the Harbour Cars team for their kindness in lending me the cars on test.
