What we've noticed
We've tracked Aintree Beetles advertised for sale since 2015. The data reveals some interesting patterns.
Typical used asking price vs the cost of buying new in 2026
Average price per foot of boat, tracked over time
Prices spiked after 2020 when demand for narrowboats surged. They've come back a little since, but remain above pre-pandemic levels.
Price as a percentage of the average for that length — 100% means exactly average.
A seven-year-old Beetle sells for about the same as a much newer used one. Age barely moves the price — though it's still well below buying new.
