As a PS to my earlier message titled: Accelerator Cable urgently needed for my 1997 cabriolet

Should I just sell my car for scrap (especially taking into account being unable to source the spare part)? Some people advise me to hold onto it for a few years thinking it will be worth a bit when it becomes a fully fledged classic, others tell me to just scrap it. It's body work is decent enough with just 1 area of rust on the drivers door and a small area on the bumper is missing the blue colour of the car after someone parked it badly hitting into a high kerb. A number of things no longer work (the heater must be set to either on or off permanently), there's a warning light that has been consistently on for about 13 years now, the back panel to the drivers seat has broken off but I still have the panel, the convertible fabric roof has stains, the boot has a slight leak, a spare tyre is needed) That is all I can think of that is wrong with it. The MOT is until May 2022. Reg is P769REV if you are able or interested to look up more statistics about it. I've owned this car for 13 years and can honestly say, hand on heart, it has only broken down on me once. This is why I'm so reluctant to sell it for scrap cos it has always run so very well for me and has served me well. Is it worth keeping or not, do you think? Thank you
