You may want to check out the 851/888 forum for the sad tale of Robin's (Red SPS) 888 SPS, a very rare and expensive model which Robin spent a long time researching and tracking down and buying, only for a belt to let go, resulting in (probably) a 10k engine rebuild (no I'm not joking).
Is it worth 60 quid a year for peace of mind, if nothing else ?
In my book, yes it is.
