I think it's more to do with the fact that it was an £850 Turbo'd boy racer car that it's a bit shit...

Clutches fail progresively normally too. It would be supprising for it to suddenly go. If it just doesn't work it could be the release mechanism, release bearing or cable. All quite common things to go on any car. You can't own a car and expect nothing to ever go wrong. Especially on such an old car.

if it wont disengage, sounds like release bearing.

This might sound silly, but have you checked that your brake fluid is topped up?
