Gearbox could need oil. They get noisy when they start drying up. If it is the throw-out bearing, it's a cheap DIY job. Drop the engine, replace the throw-out, replace the engine.

As above it is not a throw out,prepare yourself for a box repair

that is, when its working.. not when clutch is released..
remember how old these cars are..
and most people don't check the oil...

You don't say what sort of noise. If it's a 'bearing noise', and it goes away when the clutch is in, it could be main-shaft bearings.

i havent driven the car in question yet, just going on what current owner has told me, might let it go, im prepared to pay good money for a bug but not if it has gearbox probs
