I just realized what this is. The car originally had a cable clutch but someone adapted it to hydraulic using a universal slave. 

 

@MV8 I can confirm this. It looks like there was a conversion that Sevens and Elans provided during this era. Here is the document I found in the manual. @NSXguy It looks like your car had this as well.Seven_clutch_conv.pdfSeven_clutch_conv.pdf

Correct- have shared similar observation before that it wasn’t a coincidence that many period lotus and caterham 7s have this typical blue pull-style slave cylinder installation/conversion. The web is littered with exhibits.

Now we have proof in documentation of the bulletin. Thanks for sharing . 
 

Most of those installs would be pushing 40yrs in service and should be considered  

to be past useful life and in need of replacement.
