I would have thought it was a coolant hose clamp of an early model

All of the coolant clamps have those nasty VW clips of death right down to the heater matrix ones.
To the best of my knowledge these clips are for non presurised systems, they just hold the pipe in place they don't clamp it as such. I'm fairly sure the pipe it goes onto is very soft rubber. I can visualise it, I just can't put it in situe on the car and I'm desperatly trying to think what has a pipe/hose on it.

I don't think it is, but for the sake of a guess, is it the breather pipe into the airbox?

It is not a breather pipe on the air box and it is not an early coolant clip.
Car is 1989 with PB engine.

Isn't it the clamp that holds the vacuum hose on the side of the inlet manifold?

Yes that's the one, been busy mocking up the engine bay so that I can cut new wires to the correct length.  The clamp is just finger tight in this picture.

That looks like one of the front brake pipe clips that goes on the chassis leg.
However aren't they usually creamy/white?

Hooray one I actually think I know. Its the clip that holds the heated washer wiring and pipes to the near side bonnet hinge.

Probably but its the first one I had a clue about. My car's had so many owners you can't tell what's original.

Andy's right... they clip on the chassis arm and secure the brake pipe.

Deliberately left it off in some other recent piccies a I know how cunning you lot are!
