That looks like some kind of bodge (even by TVR's standards)
Is the male threaded part properly shaped to match the olive?
Without seeing it separated it's hard to see exactly whats going on but could the rubber hose not be pushed over the olive on the metal pipe and clamped, doing away with that hose barb fitting?
I find this type of clip..... clicky ..... far superior to worm drive clips on small diameter pipes, like fuel pipes.
I thought it looked odd, but it would appear standard fitment !Is the male threaded part properly shaped to match the olive?

It did cross my mind just to get rid of it and use a good clip, but there is no barb (ridge)on the remaining pipe, having said that I don't think there is one on the other one either.
Edited, my mistake there are barbes (ridges) on the other pipe.

If the olive is well set on the pipe will it not act as a barb?Why did TVR do it like this ?
Was it just to stop people mixing the hoses up ? It cant be because its a higher pressure fixing as it still got the hose clip lower down.
