Questions about the 1979 Tartan 37
How much is a 1979 Tartan 37 worth?
A 1979 Tartan 37 is worth about £27,500 in today's asking prices, most likely between £22,500 and £33,500. Based on 22 comparable boats built between 1976 and 1982, 8 of them in 1979.
What do 1979 Tartan 37s ask?
The 8 boats built in 1979 that we observed asked a median of £23,000 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.
Is a 1979 Tartan 37 cheaper than a 1980?
Yes, usually by about 5.4%: each newer build year of this model asks that much more, all else equal. The gap between individual boats is often larger, because hours, VAT status and where the boat lies move the price too.
How much will it lose next year?
About £1,500, or 5.1%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 32 boats across the whole run, not a forecast of the market.
Are these sold prices?
No. Every figure here is built from asking prices seen on public listings. Boats usually sell for less than they ask; we do not yet measure by how much, so we never print a sold price as ours.
