Saab 9000 clutch failure :-(

Hi,
Just looking for a group second opinion. My 1991 Saab 9000S (2.3 turbo, 140k miles) suddenly lost 5th gear. The stick will go into the position for 5th, but it's like being in neutral - no traction whatsoever. About 10 minutes after this happened, I started hearing a scraping noise, exactly like a bit of the plastic trim was scraping along the roadway. However, there is nothing like that under the car.
I got a couple of quotes to get the thing fixed, and the best I came up with was 1200 pounds (all-in, but still a Large Number). The guy I spoke to said I'd need a new gearbox, new clutch and new flowshaft, plus labour, plus VAT, plus transporting the beast down there. Total, 1200 quid.
The question is this: is it worth it?
I like the car, but I don't know if I like it that much. Also, does anyone care to give me an opinion of the quote I got?
