Too good to break?

Apologies if this is a repost...

I was just trawling through eBay looking at spares or repairs cars (as you do...), when I spotted this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-MG-ZT...#ht_720wt_1399

1 owner, nice spec including bullets and rear sun blind, MGZ number plate & new tyres. (Although 160 not 190 wheels :S) Killed by a snapped cambelt.

Much as I'd like to plunder it for a few bits, surely this is worth someone saving? Seems such a waste for an otherwise good car...

I just wondered what other club members thought about this.

*please note I have no connection to the seller or vested interest in the car, I just spotted it on the web.

p.s. please go easy on me, this is my first new thread on the board!

Lovely car, a lesson in doing the belts though.
They are a pain I completely agree, however for the loss both in value and of a lovely car, it's just not worth it.
